Pic Of The Week: No Prizes For Guessing...

Yep, it's the Aston Martin V12 Zagato. You just would, wouldn't you?

While Pic Of The Week doesn't always take a topical turn (we're not that clever...), we can't let the announcement of a new Aston Zagato pass without clearing space on our desktops - especially when the car looks as fabulous as this.

So without further ado, we humbly proffer this official press pic in all the appropriate sizes.

And if anyone out there really thinks it looks like a Nissan GT-R, there's detention after school. (Yes, you know who you are...)

Don't see it at all. Not worthy of POTW - sorry guys. What about an alternative POTW, like the DB4GT Zagato for comparison? They've ruined a good looking car (and just because it is Zagato, doesn't mean it has to be good looking.)

Cheers!

Nice car, I'm sure, but not much of a pic. Think I'll stick to the flying MINI.

This should be pic of the week.

It might just be you and Lady Penelope on that one.

Not Zagatos best work . . . . which is seemingly the case for almost all of the cars they've produced in the last 30 years!

Umm not convinced on its worthiness for POTW. The car itself looks ok, but some dodgy and not particularly brilliant loking computer generated image just doesn't do it for me. Not with so much battleship grey in the background at any rate.

Haha Jeff Tracy might also want to get involved

That is stunning. New desktop background!

That certainly looks 'interesting' rather than 'nice' IMO .

I agree. Each new AM variant moves away from the purity of the original.

Do not like.

Wheels are very chavvy eh.

[Greg_D]

yup, chavvy wheels, bolted on zagato nose that comes from nowhere, GTR cooling behind wheels, GTR window treatment. TBH, i would go as far as to say that this is the ONLY modern AM that on balance i don't like, 4

Just, wow...

+100

[j_s14a]

Looks much lik the Toyota FT86.

I was expecting a lot more TBH.

[beetroute]

No, doesn't do it for me either I'm afraid ....

[PunterCam]

Looks rubbish. Stupid looking thing, total pish.

You mean like this


Although personally I think both look rather stunning!

Not really a master piece. It is a bit of everything without a proper overall design theme.
