IAA 2011: Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Zagato’s take on an Aston Martin race car went down very well earlier this year. It wasn’t a final product, though. Oh no, that’s Aston’s star of the Frankfurt show – The V12 Zagato, displayed here in raw ‘just from the track’ race spec and a street version too.

And it’s a rather more involved special edition than Lamborghini’s somewhat lazy effort with the Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale. There you get a big wing. Here you get a full rebody by Zagato. No brainer.

So it’s a stunner, but will it go as well as a Zagato Aston should? Well, it’s got 510hp coming from a 6.0-liter V12 and it’ll hit 60mph in 4.2 seconds. So yes. Yes it will. Like the Lambo only 150 will be made, so you better get your order in quick.
