V12 Vantage Zagato: Aston Martin x Zagato, 2011
Coachbuilt collaboration · with Zagato · 2011 · Combustion
Born at the Nürburgring, bodied by hand in aluminium.
Conceived for Aston’s centenary era, the V12 Vantage Zagato paired the compact V12 Vantage with a hand-formed aluminium Zagato body and won its class at Villa d’Este 2011 before entering limited production. It began as an endurance-racing project at the Nürburgring, and the road cars carry the double-bubble roof and kamm tail as design signatures. Rarer than the later Vanquish Zagato, it is among the most collectible modern Astons.
