The Production Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Is Here And It Costs £500k
When Aston Martin unveiled the spectacularly gorgeous Vanquish Zagato Concept at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, there wasn’t a doubt in our minds that it’d be put into production. And sure enough, Aston Martin has now announced its fifth collaboration with the Milanese coachbuilders, and designers will get a production run of 99. The price? £500,000 apiece.
As with the concept, the soon-to-be-extinct 5.9-litre V12 has been turned up to 592bhp. This time though, we’re given a better idea of the performance, with a ‘projected’ 0-60mph time of 3.5 seconds stated - a tenth down from the standard Vanquish.
The exterior is a blend of different design ideas from different Astons. The rear light clusters have the ‘bladed’ LED tech seen on the Vulcan, the wing mirrors are similar to the ones found on the One-77 and the rear-three quarter is inspired by the DB11’s aero profile. Oh, and all that bodywork is made from carbonfibre. Lovely.
On the inside, we’re looking at lashings of Herringbone carbonfibre and anodised bronze, posh quilted leather with a ‘Z’ pattern (see what they did there?) as well as Zagato Zs embossed on the headrests.
The cars will be built to order at Aston Martin’s factory in Gaydon, with first deliveries taking place early 2017.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It’s so fantastic.
The taillights are very ugly in my opinion. Not so much of a problem usually but since it’s waht people will get to see most of the time .. ;)
Wonder if this car will make to Forza or DLC :P
One man’s trash, another man’s treasure I guess…
Do the guys down at Aston Martin wanna trade a car for the Poderra group? :)
So…
A Porsche GTR or a Zagato…
Is it just me or does it look like an Aston, GTR and F-Type had a baby?
Let’s all donate £1 to buy one.
Each user will get to drive it for a day before passing it to the next one.
If you put it in mexican pesos you have the rather non expensive $13,557,950
Anyone of you would like to pitch in?
