RE: Showpiece of the Week: Zagato Shooting Brake

with a roofline that stretches much closer to the car’s rearmost point. Zagato’s designers placed the rear window at a steeper rake so it could feed smoothly into the bodywork and help retain the pinched section between the taillights. It was a dramatic look – but one that also created a single-piece tailgate to provide wide access to the boot. Open it, and you’re greeted by a large expanse of space
Isn't that pretty much the norm for any estate car? Do Zagato really think they have invented something new here?
king disgustingI'm really sorry, but I can't agree with the last statement.
Zagato has met a rather understated success on track, at shows and on the road, thanks to discreet and very elegant shapes and/or details.
These last AM iterations appear loud, opulent and far from giving justice both to theirs and AM's heritage.
I understand £825k is a valuable reason to put such car on wheels but it still looks too much.

The front 3/4 view is ace I think, but from most other angles I think it looks more than a little fussy. I get that the buyer of this probably already has or has had lots of other special cars in addition to this, but I wouldn't pay anywhere near that amount for it.
A far as I know that amount just about gets you an F40 and definitely gets you a Carrera GT or LFA. All of which I'd put as both better drivers cars and better investments than this.

I've always really liked Aston's, but can't recall many Zagato's I particularly like.
This one seems to be a bit of a marmite-mobile. Personally, I dislike the rear end style especially the massively over-designed light clusters and form of the surrounding rear bodywork. You could say these light clusters are sculptural in a way but for me they are perhaps the most fussy looking that I've ever seen on a car, the way they protrude from the body aperture with all these fins jutting out looks very awkward to my eye. And on a practical note, cleaning them looks somewhat challenging.
