A glimpse into an unequivocal statement of luxury

Aston Martin has revealed more details for the upcoming DBS GT Zagato model, and it’s set to deliver a commanding presence whether parked or in motion.

Taking Aston Martin’s most potent series production car – the acclaimed DBS Superleggera – as its starting point, the DBS GT Zagato embodies the next evolution in Aston Martin Zagato design language. Inspired by the voluptuous shapes that previously dressed the original DB4 GT Zagato, Aston Martin designers have worked hard to conjure a similarly evocative design language.

DBS GT Zagato delivers a commanding presence whether parked or in motion. At the car’s front, a newly created and unique “dynamic” grille allows the car’s frontal area to transform its appearance. When stationary, each of the 108-individual diamond-shaped carbon fibre pieces remain flush with the car’s beautiful formed exterior. However, upon start-up DBS GT Zagato will appear to flutter into life, as each piece opens to allow the car’s twin-turbo V12 to breathe.

“This is a car that is not only focused around beauty, but drama too. Our dynamic grille gives us an opportunity to provide the car with two very different identities. When parked, DBS GT Zagato will almost look like it’s resting, but with the rear of the car still appearing muscular and primed for action,” said Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer, Aston Martin Lagonda.

While the front end will be intricately finished, Aston Martin’s design studio has utilised a camera-operated, rear-view central mirror, to accommodate the previously shown full-length carbon fibre roof. These images showcase the final design for this large, single piece of carbon fibre covering where the rear windscreen would typically be placed. Instead, DBS GT Zagato is treated to a pure and simple roofline without any compromises on practicality to the driver.

DBS GT Zagato is set for production in 2020, and only 19 will be created, priced at a little over $7 million for the DB4 GT Zagato and DBS GT Zagato.
