Introduction

Aston Martin confirmed that it will put the V12 Zagato road car into production in 2012 - with an eye watering price tag of £330,000. Just 150 examples of the stunning supercar will be built ensuring exclusivity and pretty good residuals.

The new model, based on the V12 Vantage, will be hand assembled as Aston's headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire and features a handcrafted aluminium and carbon fibre body of which every pane is formed using an English wheel and traditionally crafted body bucks. Iconic Zagato design cues include the double bubble roof, which is made up of five separate pieces.

Designed for the focused driver, the V12 Zagato has been set-up with pure driving enjoyment in mind. The V12 Zagato combines Aston Martin’s most dynamic bonded aluminium platform with the power of the 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (517 PS) and 570 Nm of torque.
