2012 Aston Martin V12 Zagato

The Frankfurt Motor Show will be present Aston Martin V12 Zagato, that there was no doubt. But will the production version that will go on sale in 2012 in limited edition of 150 units. No, what we see there are two units that corrienron racing at the Nurburgring last May. These units have been baptized as Zig Zag and never to be exactly equal, since one is presented with the specifications of competition and the other, Zag, will dress as the production model.

A production model if we see in the images accompanying Aston Martin has released a press release. Two images that do not appear sufficient to see the completely new collaboration between the design studio Zagato and engineers Gaydon, made to celebrate 50 years of Aston Martin Zagato DB4GT. Do not know if the color, but I have the impression that has changed slightly since we saw the first images in prototype version in red. For now, it guesses a rear spoiler that was not present in the prototype.

Production the Aston Martin V12 Zagato begin in 2012 and the first units will begin to reach their customers in the third quarter of the year. Each unit of the 150 planned for production will cost 330,000 pounds sterling, about 374,000 euros, approximately. This is an increase in the price of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage of 170,000 euros. Anyone who wants exclusivity, knows he has to pay.

As for the technical aspects of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, from Gaydon have not given many details about his mechanics. The only information we have is we already knew from his presentation. The engine used is the 6.0 V12 used in Aston Martin V12 Vantage, with the same specifications: 517 horsepower and 570 Nm of maximum torque. Nor do we talk about benefits or acceleration data or speed. You should not change much about the model is based.

As for the two models we see in Frankfurt, Zag will come with the body which will bring the production models, returning to its original shape after being rebuilt after the competitions at the Nurburgring, but keep the inside of competition. The other unit, Zig, retain all the specifications of competition, body and interior, including full race aero kit.
