It will look remarkably like every other Aston since time began. Yawn. Pretty, probably. Boring and unimaginative, definitely.

Don't know what it looks like but probably want!

I bet, as soon as it's shown in full, the comments will be "it looks just like any other Aston"...

Oh wait.... It's just a teaser shown and we're already there...


Gents, one word: Porsche. 40+ F-ing years of nothing but remakes of the same theme. Hell, they even bring it out with a fat arse and call it a Panamera...

and who wouldn't rip out a kidney with a blunt Swiss army knife for one of their Lancia based offerings?

Me!

Me... I think the DB4 Zagato is one of the most beautiful cars ever made but the Lancia is an acquired taste, rare as it is!

[dtrump]

basically this will be exclusive but judging by all of zagatos other creations, Im guessing quite nasty looking and nothing close to the beauty aston creates solo

'There will, intriguingly, also be what is being termed a 'racing' debut towards the end of May.'

This could be at Snetterton on 28th May. The AMOC race meeting.

I would put money on the VLN race at the Nurburgring that weekend then an entry in the Nurgburgring 24 Hours in June.

Another Aston that looks exactly the same as any other Aston and Jaguars, it might be because they have all been styled by the same person?

Negative points for lack of knowledge

[DeltaEvo2]

Honestly, tell me they don't all look the same, including Jags...

look at them from the side.

Boring, lazy designer FAIL!

That's a bit of a silly thing to say for a BMW owner.

Your right the web site on the AM site says

These cars were raced successfully by great names such as Jim Clark and Roy Salvadori. In tribute to this racing heritage the product of this great partnership in 2011, 50 years on, will be campaigned in endurance racing, commencing at the Nürburgring on 28th May.

Personally this makes me "moist"

[jonby]

Not as 'moist' as me...................I've put my name down for one !

I don't know what it will cost but I have a feeling that when I see it in the flesh, if the sketches are anything to go by, price may become irrelevant........

Bearing in mind the way ferrari, mclaren, lambo, pagani and even aston are going with flappy paddles, if rumours are correct this could be one of the last great manual sports cars

Looks like someone is building / re-creating a DB4 Zagato

http://www.studio434.co.uk/DB4-Zagato-build-Diary_...

Could be interesting, a modern GT with 60's styling!!!!

Bookmarking that page as it looks like an amazing project! I really hope I have the money and dedication to do something similar one day.

That looks absolutely stunning. I wonder if Lady S will notice if I convert my DB7 Vantage?

I'm guessing you've never seen any of Zagato's other creations?
