The road going version of the new Aston Martin V12 Zagato is set to debut at Frankfurt, before going into limited production from the middle of next year.
Debuting 50 years after the introduction of the iconic DB4GT Zagato, the new hand-built V12 model is based on the V12 Vantage and features an aluminium and carbon fibre body. Powered by a six-litre V12 engine producing 510bhp and 570 Nm of torque, the race-bred machine was honed during endurance races at the Nurburgring with two prototypes.
Nicknamed ‘Zig’ and ‘Zag’ by Aston technicians, ‘Zig’ will appear in Frankfurt in full racing specification and features a full aerodynamic package including front splitter, dive planes, rear diffuser and spoiler. Converted back into a road-spec show car, ‘Zag’ indicates the look of finished customer cars.
The pair of Zagato racing machines will appear on the Aston stand at the Frankfurt motor show, alongside the One-77 supercar and recently launched Virage and Vantage S.
Following positive customer reaction, just 150 road-worthy examples will be produced at £330,000 each excluding VAT, which puts the total on-the-road figure at just short of £400,000.
