The production version of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato has been officially unveiled ahead of its debut at the Kuwait Concours d’Elegance, on February 15.
According to the British automaker, the V12 Zagato is based on the V12 Vantage and is developed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of DB4GT Zagato.
“Our relationship with Zagato stretches back more than 50 years. Together in that time we have created a series of very special cars," said Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez. "The first – the DB4GT Zagato – is a true icon: fast, beautiful and incredibly desirable. In the V12 Zagato I believe we have captured the spirit of that car and combined it with a confident twist of modernity to give it a character all of its own.”
It takes about 2,000 man hours to build each model and the sports car comes with aluminum hood, roof and doors, while the fenders, door sills and boot lid surround are made from carbon fiber.
Aston Martin didn’t release any technical details, but the company's brochure says the model is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 510 hp and 570 Nm of torque. It is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, allowing the 1,680 kg car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 305 km/h.
The V12 Zagato is currently on sale and pricing starts at £330,000. Only 150 units will be produced and the first deliveries have been scheduled for later this year.
