Four rare Aston Martin Zagato cars are up for auction

The historic home of Aston Martin with a heritage stretching back almost 60 years, Aston Martin Works, has announced the sale of a rare car built by Italian coachbuilder Zagato. We are talking about the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato in Volante, Shooting Brake and Speedster variants, and the even rarer Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato.

All cars are part of a private collection and the Vanquish Zagato Volante and Shooting Brake were each produced in 99 examples, while the Speedster was produced in only 28 examples.

However, the most valuable car in this small collection is the DBS GT Zagato, which was produced in just 19 examples. All cars are powered by a naturally-aspirated V12 engine with 592 hp, mated to the Touchtronic III transmission.

Also, it should be noted that the owner separated the DBS GT Zagato from the DBZ Container Collection, which also included the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation. When the owner bought them, these two cars cost £6 million, excluding tax.

AGTZ Twin Tail Limited Edition

The Italian coachbuilding company Zagato in its 105-year long history has cooperated with the best car manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, BMW, Porsche, etc. Now, Zagato has unveiled a limited edition AGTZ Twin Tail based on the Alpine A110, and only 19 examples will be produced.

In the late 60s, Zagato produced the AGTZ Twin Tail based on the then Alpine A220, which current CEO Andrea Zagato claimed was two cars in one. Before and after transformation. Owners could decide which body type they wanted, converting the Longtail version to a Shorttail version after detaching the rear section. One was better on a fast track, the other on a more technically demanding road section.

This model is also equipped with a removable double rear end, so the car can be configured for road use or to achieve maximum speed thanks to the lower aero coefficient generated by the extended tail.

When it comes to the powertrain, Zagato didn’t reveal the details. The current Alpine A110 is powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 249 hp (186 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 4.5 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

The AGTZ Twin Tail will premiere in May at the Concours d’Elegance in Vila d’Este. Price, 650,000 euros.
