The published images of DBS GT Zagato they're still just digital renderings, but according to Aston Martin, they accurately reproduce his latest collaboration with Zagato, the well-known Italian carrozziere, which celebrates its first centenary.
Production of this exclusive Grand Turismo is scheduled for 2020 and only 19 units will be produced, precisely the same number of units to be built as the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation — this will be built using processes and techniques from the time the original DB4 GT Zagato was produced , in 1960.
The identical number of units between the two models has a reason for being. It will only be possible to purchase the DBS GT Zagato by also purchasing the DB4 GT Zagato! Both are part of the DBZ Centenary Collection , to celebrate the centenary of Zagato.
Thus, the pair of models will cost a modest sum of six million pounds or approximately 6.7 million euros, plus tax.
DBS GT Zagato
The most recent element of the pair derives from the current DBS Superleggera, but its lines and elements are distinguished from this one, taking its inspiration from the DB4 GT Zagato. At the front, the single grille, made up of 108 moving parts in carbon fiber and in the shape of a diamond, stands out. When the V12 twin turbo is turned on, all parts rotate, ensuring the passage of air to the engine.
Another highlight is the absence of a rear window, with the carbon fiber roof extending uninterrupted towards the rear. Rear visibility is guaranteed by a camera, with the captured images being displayed in the central rearview mirror, without hampering driving, guarantees Aston Martin. Naturally, the roof takes on the shape of a double bubble, a feature closely linked to Zagato.
Mechanically it should not change compared to DBS Superleggera, that is, there are 725 hp at our disposal.
Regarding the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation, by respecting the original model in its entirety — as if production had simply resumed, 59 years later — it becomes impossible to homologate it on public roads in light of current regulations, by the which can only be conducted in a circuit.
