Summary

  • Bovensiepen debuts its first car, the Zagato GT, based on the BMW M4
  • Features a 611 hp inline-six, carbon fiber body, and Bilstein adaptive suspension
  • Hand-built in Bavaria, with over 250 hours per unit and extensive personalization options

Bavaria meets Milan in the debut of the Bovensiepen Zagato, a limited-production grand tourer, based on the BMW M4, unveiled at this year’s Fuori Concorso on Lake Como. The first model from the newly launched Bovensiepen brand, the Zagato pairs Italian coachbuilding with Bavarian engineering, creating what CEO Andreas Bovensiepen calls “Fine Driving” in its purest form.

The car features a 3L inline-six engine producing 611 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, launching from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds and reaching a top speed over 186 mph. Built on a lightweight carbon fiber body and outfitted with adaptive Bilstein dampers and forged 20-inch wheels, the Zagato combines performance with comfort in three selectable driving modes. A titanium Akrapovič exhaust delivers a sound worthy of its bold design.

Zagato’s design DNA is evident in the signature “double bubble” roof, frameless windows and precise, flowing lines. Inside, buyers can personalize nearly every surface, including optional Lavalina leather upholstery and CNC-milled aluminum shift paddles. Each car requires over 250 hours to build, with more than 400 bespoke components crafted in Buchloe.

At the time of writing, specifics on availability and price have not yet been revealed, however, they are expected to be shared by the end of 2025, with deliveries expected to take place in Q2 of 2026.
