Zagato will put the Diatto into production with a mere 99 units.The Diatto marque dates back to some 170 years.

Like the previous 575 project, which recalled the iconic 250 GTZ, the Diatto Ottovu Zagato was realized to recall the coachbuilt motor-carriages Zagato re-bodied for Diatto some 85 years ago.[Source: Autoblog via Zagato]Follow the jump for the official pre-press release.PRESS RELEASE:Diatto by Zagato - Ottovù ProjectThe Geneva motor show goes on - the by now classic tradition of passionate clients of exclusive car m
