Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
August 4, 2008
This classic Aston Martin was introduced in 1960 at the London Motor Show, an update of the DB4 GT introduced in 1958, this was easily one of the most exciting British sports cars ever manufactured. A combination of British engineering and styling by the Zagato factory in Italy, this classic coupe featured enclosed headlights and a much lighter body weight than the DB4 GT.
Styling for this car was carried out by the young Ercole Spada, a relative new-comer to the Zagato factory in Turin. What emerged from the factory was a curvy new body that smoothed out the GT’s styling and gave the coupe a distinctive look of its own.
The Zagato featured a 314 bhp engine and achieved a top speed of 154 mph (246 km/h). 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) could be reached in 6.1 seconds.
Initially the production called for 25 cars, but in the end only 20 were ever built. Now this model is considered the most desirable and a buyer can expect to pay anything over £750,000 to own one.
