Carrozzeria Touring’s influence went beyond just shaping the body. Their design philosophy emphasized not just aesthetics, but also aerodynamic efficiency and weight savings — both of which were vital to unlocking the Z-102’s full performance potential. The flowing lines, long hood, and tapering tail weren’t just beautiful; they served a purpose. This prototype laid the visual foundation for the Z-102’s many iterations. While other coachbuilders, such as Saoutchik and Serra, would later offer their own interpretations of the Z-102, it was Touring’s restrained elegance that set the tone. Their coupe was a rolling sculpture — timeless and functional.
