1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
It may sound derogatory to reference a
vehicle in terms of its competition, but when that competitor happens to be the
Ferrari 250 GTO, arguably the most legendary classic sports car currently in
existence.
The DB4GT was a sportier version of the
DB4, noted for its available 3.8-liter, 302-hp engine. Initially created to
challenge Ferrari’s 250, Aston Martin turned to Zagato for help when they
realized the DB4GT in its current form was no match for the Italians. And thus
19 examples of the DB4 Zagato were produced in a joint effort between Aston
Martin and Italian coach builder Zagato. Many recognize the DB4 Zagato as the
firm’s greatest design ever.
