Aston Martin has revealed the exterior design of the
upcoming DBS GT Zagato in a series of official renders. Based on the DBS Superleggera,
the company’s latest limited-edition supercar showcases the latest evolution in
the Aston Martin Zagato design language.
In order to get your
hands on one of the DBS GT Zagatos, you’ll have to also get a DB4 GT Zagato
Continuation. The £ 6 million (US$ 7.48 million) pair forms what Aston calls the
DBZ Centenary Collection, with only 19 examples of each set to be made.
One of the biggest visual highlights of the new
Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato can be found in its traditionally massive grille;
this is actually an active item, meaning that each of the 108-individual
diamond-shaped carbon fibre pieces remain flush with the bodywork when the
supercar is parked and then open upon start-up to enable the twin-turbo
6.0-liter V12 to breathe.
In addition, the full length carbon-fiber roof will
make it into production, giving the DBS GT Zagato an even more muscular
appearance. This large piece of carbon fiber also means that there’s also no
rear window, but Aston Martin solved the issue with a camera-operated central
mirror.
Production of the new Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato
will start in 2020, with the first deliveries scheduled for the fourth quarter
of the same year.
