Often hailed as the “Spanish Ferrari,” the 1954 Pegaso Z-102 Berlinetta Series II is a masterpiece of advanced 1950s engineering and flamboyant design.
Conceived by Wilfredo Ricart to challenge the greatest Italian sports cars, the Z-102 was technically revolutionary, featuring an all-alloy, quad-cam V8 engine (2.8-liter, producing 195 hp) and a sophisticated rear five-speed transaxle—features decades ahead of its time.
While most Z-102s wore bodies by Touring, only 18 chassis were sent to the legendary Parisian coachbuilder Jacques Saoutchik, whose Series II Berlinetta is considered his final and most dramatic work. Distinguished by its low roofline, emphatically curved fenders, and bold use of chrome, the Saoutchik version transformed the high-tech chassis into a visual tour de force.
With only seven Series II Berlinettas ever built, this Pegaso is an exceptionally rare and highly coveted jewel of automotive history. Here is a set of beautiful photos of the 1954 Pegaso Z-102 Berlinetta Series II.
