2020 ASTON MARTIN DBS GT ZAGATO – VERIFICATION PROTOTYPE

Exclusively styled and built in recognition of a 60-year collaboration with Zagato Design, incorporating many of the traditional and renowned Zagato styling features, including the signature ‘double bubble’ roof line and use of lightweight carbon fibre body panels, the contemporary half of the DBZ Centenary pairing, (of which just 19 were produced), the DBS GT Zagato is, by any measure, a highly dynamic modern GT and true modern classic.

Created on Aston Martin’s familiar DBS Superleggera aluminium chassis and running gear, powered by the Aston Martin 5.2 litre twin-turbo V12 engine, uprated to produce 760 bhp / 900nm torque, mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic Touchtronic 3 transmission. Capable of propelling the DBS GT Zagato to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 211mph.

Equipped with all conveniences and the phenomenal performance of the renowned production DBS, unique features of the DBS GT Zagato include unique Zagato design carbon fibre bodies, an active opening and closing front grille assembly with 108 carbon diamond-shaped pieces, a full-length carbon fibre ‘double bubble’ design roof with digital rear view camera mirror, exclusive lighting equipment and a unique cabin environment with signature Zagato trim. The combination giving the ultimate in DBS performance, achieved with the unique Zagato styling, weight saving carbon fibre body and aerodynamic improvements.

The example we are now privileged to offer for sale performed as a Verification Prototype for the model in its initial years, before being recommissioned and refinished by Aston Martin. Purchased directly from Aston Martin in 2022 by its sole, private, collector owner, this example is one of just two offered for sale as an individual item rather than as part of the DBZ Centenary pairing.

Of the total 21 DBS GT Zagato’s produced, this is believed to be one of just two examples built-in Right-Hand Drive configuration, the other now forming part of an exclusive ‘Royal’ collection and unlikely to be seen in public. Making this an almost unique opportunity and, in fact, rarer than all other recent Aston Martin specials, including the Vulcan, Valour and Valiant.

Finished in (Q Special) Tourmaline Blue over Obsidian Black and True Teal (Q Special) Caithness Leather. An exposed gloss carbon fibre roof panel, Z Silver styling pack and centre locking Satin Black 3D Diamond Turned wheels complete the exterior specification, whilst inside, the 3-d printed Carbon Fibre fascia trim, Z quilt seat quilting, Bang & Olufsen BeoSound Audio and bespoke rear seat storage luggage (unique to this particular example) all contribute to an exclusive and luxurious cabin.

Presented in immaculate condition throughout and benefitting full body PPF coverage, annual servicing, since delivery to its first owner, has been carried out by Aston Martin.

Supplied with a cloth covered DBZ Centenary Book, an Aston Martin black lacquered key storage box, an original DBS GT Zagato design rendering, a DBS GT Zagato front grille technical drawing, replacement front grille sections in branded box, Trickle Charger, Custom fit Aston Martin indoor car cover, a full compliment of keys and, naturally, an Aston Martin umbrella.

This spectacular and ultra rare Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato is available to view at our Hertfordshire showrooms now.
