Select news articles by brands.
Welcome to the first edition of Zagame Passion.
It seemed like the right name for a newsletter designed to capture so much of what we do. Cars are a passion of mine, and it’s a love shared by the team at Zagame.
Cars are built to be enjoyed. So these newsletters will be a celebration of the news, people, experiences, and events that drive the Zagame Automotive Group.
It’s been a while since our last update. I hope you enjoy what our team have to share.
Can I also take this opportunity to wish you all a safe, and prosperous 2023.
Kind Regards,
Bobby Zagame

BENTLEY MELBOURNE
A new home for an icon
Zagame Automotive Group was appointed as Melbourne’s authorised Bentley dealer earlier this year. It’s no secret that we’re long-term admirers of the brand, and we have been the Bentley dealer in Adelaide since 2019.
It’s an exciting new era for the Bentley brand, and for the dedicated Bentley Melbourne team who’ve now become part of Zagame.
We’ll be sharing our own development plans, and details of the many new models coming from Bentley soon. Traditional Bentley values are finding new life in this exciting new era. It’s an inspiring time to be working with the brand from Crewe.

FERRARI MELBOURNE
Staying ahead of every curve
At Ferrari Melbourne, a new Ferrari is always a reason to celebrate. The new 296 is no exception and is high on innovation. The 296 is the first Ferrari-badged V6 (purists will understand the Dino distinction) and it’s the first Ferrari hybrid to be teamed with a V6.
"The V6 Hybrid 296 raises the bar again"
Car Magazine – UK
The compact and fascinating ‘dinner-plate-sized’ electric motor sandwiched seamlessly within the drivetrain has created an agile, telepathically responsive car that raises handling to another level.
The Robb Report has named the 296 as their Car of the Year. We’ve secured production, but don't wait too long, the 296 is already sold out in Europe, the USA and the Middle East.

Spanish passion. A great fit with ours.
We’re proud to announce Zagame has been appointed sole Victorian distributor for CUPRA. Part of the Volkswagen Group, CUPRA is new to Australia but the brand’s performance heritage is well known in Europe.
"These are cars built for the driver…for those who believe it’s a passion, not a chore. Performance SUVs, a hatch, and the ground-breaking electric model – the Born – will all turn heads with their styling and create converts with the way they drive."
Ben Wilks – CUPRA
You can find Cupra at Chadstone Shopping Centre (a first for Zagame) and at our new Swan Street showroom. Excitement is certainly building. The first allocation of cars were sold before they’d even arrived in Australia.

ASTON MARTIN DBX 707
Aston Martin makes a powerful statement.
We’ve been excited to experience the DBX 707. Unforgettable might be an apt description. This is the world’s most powerful SUV. It’s also effortlessly refined, sumptuously luxurious, and very hard to secure.
By way of explanation, the ‘707’ is named after the 707 horsepower generated by the twin-turbo V8 engine under the bonnet. If you think that sounds exciting, wait till you hear it.
We have a select few available for those who are fast to react. Which does seem apt, given the vehicle’s performance.

ALFA ROMEO TONALE
A new Alfa for a new era
The new Alfa Romeo Tonale is a stylish mid-sized SUV that packs an enormous amount of technology on the inside.
This is Alfa Romeo’s first production of the hybrid drivetrain combing an energetic 1.5 litre four-cylinder turbo engine seamlessly with the torque and efficiency of an additional 48v electric motor.
The advantage: maximum response, while using minimum fuel. Low speed driving in traffic and parking is peacefully electric-only.
Yet the Tonale also manages to feel alive and driver-focused, just like an Alfa Romeo should. The interior has been designed to become the benchmark for the category leaders – it’s luxurious and quite beautifully detailed.
Value will also be a selling point for the new Tonale when it arrives early in 2023, with prices starting from around $55,000.
