They’re called Zig and Zag, and they’re the two vehicles it raced at the Nürburgring to show what they were made of.

That second vehicle will now be converted back – in appearance, at least – to roadgoing trim to give us a glimpse at what the half-million-dollar coachbuilt supercar will look like when it reaches customers’ garages. It’ll also be the first time the car is shown at a major auto show, although we recently spent some time with it at Pebble Beach.
