May 2011 saw the Aston Martin V12 Zagato Concept make its world debut
at the prestigious Villa d'Este concours. After an overwhelmingly positive response from
customers, the decision was made in July 2011 to build a strictly limited run of V12 Zagatos.
Built at Aston Martin's global headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire,
production of the V12 Zagato will be strictly limited to no more than 150 cars.
Some reported only 101 units will be made.
The V12 Zagato is constructed from a combination of hand crafted aluminium and carbon fibre.
The bonnet, signature 'double-bubble' roof and doors are hand-crafted aluminium,
while the front and rear fenders, door sills and boot lid surround are made from carbon fibre.
Powered by a front-mid mounted, all-alloy, 48-valve, 5,935 cc V12 engine
that produces 510 bhp. Rear wheel drive. 0-100 km/h takes 4.2 seconds.
Maximum speed is 305 km/h (190 mph).
Four unique colours have been created for the Aston Martin V12 Zagato:
Scintilla Silver, Alloro Green, Alba Blue and Diavolo Red.
Priced at £330,000 (US $500,000) each.
