The time has come for the unique V12 Zagato to hit the production line, with the famous British company fully revealing it while also announcing its full technical details.
To the point, this is a unique AstonMartin model, which is undoubtedly the top version of the Vantage range today. So aesthetically pleasing, as well as technically, this version is nothing but a "smaller" variant of the dazzling One-77, while giving a first-class opportunity for the famous British to pay tribute to its 50-year association with Zagato. We remind you that the first Zagato, the DB4 GT, made her official debut in 1961, while for those who are… coordinated, the youngest, η V12 Zagato, last September at the Frankfurt Fair, as original. From now on, its thoroughbred-racing version had already participated in the famous 24-hour Nürburgring endurance race last summer.
The whole project regarding the new V12 Zagato got its final approval on 2010, at which point the design and development of the car in question began, which, according to all the official announcements of the company, will be produced in just 150 copies (note. each of these requires in order to be constructed 2.000 working hours!). Naturally, this is a percentage hand built car 100%, which is based on the Vantage series aluminum floor. By design, the V12 Zagato is – undoubtedly- sufficiently stimulating adopting elements, as is the impressive aluminum roof, with the double "inflates". Made of aluminum, for weight saving reasons, the hood and doors are made, while carbon fiber is found on both the front and rear wings, as well as at the rear of the body.
In the technical field, the dominant element is the engine, which certainly comes from the Vantage series models. The familiar 6-liter naturally aspirated engine will deliver 510 horses at 5.500 s.a.l., naturally transferring the drive to the rear wheels via a manual gearbox 6 relations. Given the estimates of its creators, the new V12 Zagato will be able to accelerate from standstill to first 100 km/h in just 4,2 δλ. marking a class top speed 305 and more km/h.
Production of the unique V12 Zagato is expected to begin towards the end of this year 2013, while the deliveries to the barely 150 they will become its owners from its beginnings 2014 and so on. Her price; Excluding the taxes imposed on each individual purchase, calculate not less than 330.000 British pounds!
