After many months of preparations, development,
building and testing, Aston Martin has completed the first units of the DB4 GT
Zagato Continuation. Built by hand at the Heritage Division headquarters in Newport Pagnell,
Buckinghamshire, UK, production is limited to only 19 units. The company did
not say how many have been shipped to date, but a couple of months ago, they
had 10 examples in different stages of construction.
“Christmas may be just around the corner now, but
for 19 astute car collectors, it is most definitely coming early”, said
President of Aston Martin Works, Paul Spires. “The DB4 GT Zagato Continuation
program has been our most challenging and rewarding to date, and it is a
genuine honor to see the fruits of our not inconsiderable labors making their
way to owners around the globe.”
Part of the DBZ Centenary Collection, the DB4 GT
Zagato Continuation is sold together with the DBS GT Zagato. The striking
styling of the modern GT is complemented by a very powerful 5.2-liter V12
engine with 725 PS and 900 Nm of torque. It needs
only 3.4 seconds to cover the 0-100 km/h acceleration and has a 339
km/h top speed.
As for the financial part, back when Aston Martin
had yet to sell all units, you would’ve spent at least £ 6 million in the UK for the bundle. That’s before taxes and any optional extras,
of course.
