And the DB4 GT Zagato continuation model looks sharp, too.
The Aston Martin and Zagato
partnership runs deep. The two companies have been building
extraordinary vehicles since the early 1950s. But the pair's latest
project could be among their best; today Aston Martin dished out more
detailed renderings of its upcoming DBS GT Zagato and classic DB4 GT Zagato continuation. Both models poised for production in just a few months.
These new renderings are an upgrade over what the company released in March. Here, we can see the Superleggera-based
DBS GT Zagato borrows the same general shape as its production sibling,
but now with a more prominent grille to make way for Aston's massive
twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine. Assuming the same power setup carries
over, the DBS GT Zagato could have 715 horsepower (553 kilowatts) and
663 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) of torque on tap. Additional upgrades
in slimmer headlights, a more defined hood line, and gold-tinged
20-spoke wheels.
"This is a car that is not only focused around
beauty, but drama too," Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer at Aston
Martin Lagonda says. "Our dynamic grille gives us an opportunity to
provide the car with two very different identities. When parked, DBS GT
Zagato will almost look like it's resting, but with the rear of the car
still appearing muscular and primed for action."
A DB4 GT Zagato continuation model will join DBS GT Zagato production,
both available in 2020. The former comes replete with a classic look, a
straight-six engine producing 380 hp (283 kW), a four-speed manual
transmission with a limited-slip differential, and power at the rear
wheels.
"It was important to me and our teams to deliver something as
beautiful as the original DB4 GT Zagato," Reichman notes, "and I feel
that we have achieved that with this model and I can't wait to see it in
the metal."
Both of these beauties will go on sale next year –
but they'll be limited. Aston Martin promises just 19 examples worldwide
at a cost of about $7.5 million (£6 million) for the pair.
