A Unicorn’s Autograph
‘Whether it’s a clever marketing ploy or an act of automotive generosity, Aston Martin Works has a knack for creating demand by dangling irresistible Zagato magic.’
Aston Martin Works offers four rare Zagato-designed models: the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, the Vanquish Speedster, the Vanquish Volante, and the ultra-rare DBS GT Zagato.
The DBS GT Zagato was limited to just 19 units, created to celebrate Zagato’s 100th anniversary.
It was equipped with a twin-turbo V12 producing 760 hp.
Each car costs $7.8 million, and each is bundled with a DB4 GT Zagato continuation model.
Includes a ‘breathing’ grille that opens and closes, finished in Supernova Red.
Production of the Vanquish Shooting Brake was limited to 99 units.
It featured a distinctive glass roof and bespoke interior designed for style and practicality.
The Vanquish Speedster is the rarest of the Vanquish Models, with only 28 units made.
Open cockpit with rear humps that delivered an open-air, high-performance experience.
And finally, the Vanquish Volante production was limited to 99 units.
It was a convertible with Zagato’s iconic double-bubble roof design in a soft-top variant, blending luxury and power.
Each Vanquish Zagato model is powered by a 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12, making 592 hp.
It accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200 mph.
The original price was around $1 million each when new.
Interestingly, the Zagato Coupe, limited to 99 units and introduced in 2020, isn’t part of this sale; it originally cost $765,000.
The collection may sell for over $50 million, celebrating the Aston Martin-Zagato legacy of craftsmanship, rarity, and iconic design.
In short, while this sale offers collectors a rare opportunity, it’s also a savvy financial move for Aston Martin,
These sales provide a substantial financial boost without the operational costs of mass production, balancing exclusivity with the funding needed to support the brand’s growth and innovation goals.
‘For when you want a car rarer than a unicorn’s autograph.’
