About Perana Performance Group
The idea of producing an Italian-styled, South African-designed and manufactured sports car was born in late 2007. The Perana Performance Group was created as the entity to bring what was just a concept at that time, to where we are today – with a show car that enjoyed its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on in March, 2009.
The Perana project is the result of Zagato's nine-decade-long experience in constructing fully functioning, running concepts. The decline of low volume manufacturing around the world, coupled with changes in EU legislation relating to low volume manufacturers, created the opportunity for the Perana Performance Group to develop the Z-One. Virtual reality development effectively eliminated the need to use traditional time-consuming styling models, and allowed the prototype to be completed in less than 4 months.
Although there are some connections, the Perana Performance Group is not affiliated with the Classic Perana vehicles sold in South Africa in the 1960s and '70s. To learn more about Classic Perana's dating back to 1968, please visit
