Saw this the other day at Silverstone:

Can anyone tell me what it is? It looks like an Aston Martin 'Z' of some kind?

Cheers

P.S. More pics available if required.

Zagato DB7 or DB9 I suspect.

DevilsAdvocate · 1 Jun 2008 at 22:24

It's an ugly bugger.

DB7 Zagato

Pay 5000000 times more for an uglified car. Never liked them.

That thing actually looked ok, the rest of the zagato designs are terrible. That new bentley conti one is absolutely atrocious.

From Wiki:

The Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Zagato was a limited-edition grand tourer made by Aston Martin/Zagato. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October, 2002, the Zagato was immediately sold out. Only 99 examples were sold to the public, though one extra was produced for the Aston Martin museum.

Like the DB7 on which it is based, the Zagato is powered by a 6.0 L V12 engine and controlled via a 6-speed manual transmission. It has a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h) and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.9 seconds, statistics not entirely dissimilar to Aston's present day DB9.

Unlike the later DB AR1, the Zagato is built on a shortened chassis.

The Vantage Zagato coupe sold for a base price of US$250,000.

Had a good mooch around a green one at Oulton, they really do look 100% better in the flesh. Beautiful things.

I've always loved the Zagato versions of the DB cars
