    2020 Aston Martin DBZ GT ZagatoAston Martin has delivered a further glimpse of the final production intent exterior of the upcoming DBS GT Zagato lineup. Paired with DB4 GT Zagato Continuation to complete the DBZ Centenary Collection, which will be comprised of mere 19 vehicles, the latest family members present a new approach towards aesthetics and design, all along with remarkable new technologies.

    Taking the acclaimed DBS Superleggera as a starting point, DBS GT Zagato embodies the next trend in the entire Aston Martin lineup. Inspired by the elegant curves and lines of the original DB4 GT Zagato, brand designers and engineers have worked passionately in order to conjure a fresh new look, but also to retain this classic and beloved AM expression.

    With its luxurious ambience and overall premium expression, DBS GT Zagato comes with a newly created and sexy dynamic grille, which allows vehicle’s frontal area to transform its appearance. When stationary, the 108-individual diamond-shaped carbon-fiber pieces remain flush with car’s beautiful exterior, while, at the same time, upon start-up, DBS GT Zagato will appear to flutter into life, as if each piece opens to allow vehicle’s massive V12 to breathe.

    While the front-end is doing its thing, the rest of the body showcases an agile expression and overall aggressive and sporty stance. The final design reveals a single piece carbon-fiber cover for the rear widescreen and a single-piece straightforward roofline without any compromises on practicality to the driver and passengers.

    DBS GT Zagat is set for production in 2020, joining each of the 19 DB4 GT Zagato vehicles set to be created at Aston Martin Works this year.

    “Our entries this year extend our Nürburgring racing philosophy. For five years now we have signed-off our new products by entering a car which is as close to the road car as possible and subjecting it to the toughest 24 hour test on what best simulates the extremities of public roads. This year we go a step further by testing a car at prototype stage.”, commented Aston Martin’s Head of Motorsport, David King.

    “As ever, the race will present an enormous challenge in a vast and increasingly competitive field which will be fraught with all the unpredictable elements associated with racing at the Nürburgring. However, we are excited by the potential we have seen from the V12 Zagato in the testing we’ve completed and that gives us great hope for the task ahead. We look forward to a safe, successful and enjoyable race for our teams and customers.”, he added.

    V12 Zagato has a new handcrafted aluminium body and is powered by a smooth 6.0 liter V12 with 517PS (380 kW) and 570Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. It also has a specially developed chassis for maximum performance.

  • 2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato

    Aston Martin has revealed the new V12 Zagato endurance racer concept. The car will make its official debut at the Villa D’Este Concours in Italy.

    “The Zagato design language is a perfect complement to our design and engineering expertise. After 50 years of the two companies being associated with each other the partnership has produced some of the world’s most iconic cars.”, commented Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin.

    “Of course, fifty years ago Italian design houses were widely seen as leading the way with new designs but now and supported by our independency, Aston Martin has its own in-house design ability so this new venture with Zagato is more collaborative than it perhaps would have been in the past.”, he added.

    “The task for us has been to create a concept that is a natural successor to those iconic cars that have gone before. Matching the technology of the age with the traditional skills vital to deliver such a bespoke and exclusive sports car will lead to a strictly limited run of road going V12 Zagatos.”, Mr. Bez fisnished.

    The project started in 2010, when Aston Martin and Zagato had initial meetings and took the decision to proceed with the project.

    V12 Zagato features a new handcrafted aluminium body, a mighty 6.0 liter V12 with 517PS (380 kW) and 570Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque, and specially developed chassis for maximum performance.

    The racing debut of the V12 Zagato will be at the 53. ADAC ACAS H&R-Cup VLN round at the Nurburgring on 28th May with a view to two cars racing at the 24 hour race on 25/26 June.  The cars will be driven by an experienced driver team, led for the sixth year by Chief Executive Dr. Ulrich Bez.

    The Aston Martin V12 Zagato will be exhibited for the first time at the Villa D’Este Concours on Saturday 21st May 2011.
