Want to owned the new Aston Martin
Vanquish Zagato Volante? Be prepared to shell out big bucks, because according
to Automobile magazine, each of the 99 examples to be made will command a
massive price of US$ 850,000.
The latest result of a lengthy love affair between
Aston Martin and Zagato, the coachbuilt special was revealed a month and a half
ago. It's based on the Vanquish drop-top, but with unique bodywork crafted by
the artisans at the Milanese design house.
Production is reportedly slated to kick off a year
from now, but before it can, Aston will fill its order books. Deposits are
reportedly now being accepted to the tune of US$ 150,000, which would by itself be
more than enough to put a well-equipped Vantage in your driveway, but here
serves as just the starting point.
The full price of US$ 850k represents a nearly
threefold premium over the "standard" Vanquish Volante. Customers are
said to have until October 10 – just a few days from now – to get their deposits
in, and you can bet that Aston will have little trouble selling each and every
