Aston Martin Works announced a special sale of four rare Zagato models, targeting collectors with expensive taste. The privately-held four-car collection comprises the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato in Volante, Shooting Brake, and Speedster forms, together with a more recent and even rarer DBS GT Zagato. This means that only the original Vanquish Zagato Coupe is missing, to complete one of the rarest collections of coachbuilt specials. The Vanquish Zagato Volante and Shooting Brake were produced in 99 units each, while the Speedster was manufactured in 28 units. The rarest of the bunch is the DBS GT Zagato, with the Italian design house building only 19 units.
Interestingly, the owner of the DBS GT
Zagato separated it from the classic DB4 GT Zagato Continuation that came with
it as part of the DBZ Centenary Collection. The duo came with a £ 6-million (US$
7.8-million) price tag before taxes, but it could be worth more if sold
separately. The Vanquish Zagato family is based on the underpinnings of the
previous-generation Aston Martin Vanquish, which remained in production between
2012 and 2018. Under the hood lies a naturally aspirated V12 powertrain,
generating a healthy and rather vocal 592 hp. The DBS GT
Zagato is based on the more recent Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, featuring a
more potent twin-turbo V12 with 750 hp.
Aston Martin Works, the heritage division
of the brand, didn’t announce an asking price for the special four-car bundle,
which is expected to fetch millions. The cars are located in the UK but we
guess that future owners won’t really care about the shipping costs.
