It was the bodywork package that was designed by Peter Stevens, McLaren F1 designer ! The suspension system however was totaly in-house. You may be surprised to learn that most of it is straight from the Rover 400/45. The upper wishbones were just turned upside down to provide a sharper control ! Beyond that the dampers and springs were unique to the ZS.
Still doesn't redeem the boring Rover 400/45 though !

I would love a Maestro Turbo! I had a 1.3 city X for a company car many moons ago, I broke it in less than a week
