It's funny. Some cars take years to materialize, we see concept after concept and keep waiting for the final version to finally make its way to production. The FT-86, or whatever it will be called, comes to mind. On the other hand other cars just pop out of nowhere, just like the Aston Martin V12 Zagato you see in this short film by Marchettino. This simply stunning creation was built to celebrate the 50 years of the first Aston-Zagato collaboration. What a work of art. And yes, it sounds just as good as it looks! Turn your speakers up and enjoy!

That sounds like nothing I've heard before, and by that I mean that it sounds pretty crazy. Would be nice to hear it roar on a track!

2

Nice, but the back lights look way too much like an Ferrari. Maybe it would look less obvious if it wasn't in Ferrari red.

3

sounds like an angry bull..

4

INCREDIBLE!!! That sound is glorious!

5

Wow, My new dremcar!

6

it sounds like the Devils henchman is coming to get you.. yes.. i think this car will be historic.

7

Magnifique

8

sounds vicious :O

.

and also, interestingly, very similar to the 787B!

9

Amazing!

10

That literily gave me goosebumps.

11

love it, although its not the best thing to do to a cold engine - i'd love to be inside this car doing the revving.

I think this car is an amazing design, and if the tail lights may seem a little ferrari-ish, the proportions are stunning.

The rear end is a masterpiece.

13

am i the only one that spotted assymetrical rear end?

i know its a prototype but damn

14

Damn wicked sound! idle like a big block cammed out v8 but revs like a screaming v12! and one sexy as looking car!

15

Man, i love the idle that looks like a big block and the high rev like an f1 :)

Aston Martin is just trying to build off of some of the styling cues from the DB7 Vantage Zagato. Such is the case with the taillights. The DB7 Zagato came out in 2002 so maybe its the Ferrari 599 thats a little Aston-ish...in the taillight department at least.

17

Thts amazen! The back ofthe car looks like a snakes head!!

18

Daamn! that V12 sounds sweet. I had to pause my music to hear it more clearly.

is it me or does the rear looks like a Ferrari 458

I don't think the rear looks like anything else! It is superb. And if we start taking it to loosely, every car looks like the other beside it, after all, it's a car!



Interesting the exhaust tips are so... like hand made... but very rough... It doesn't matter if that's what it takes to make that sound (jk)!



Just plain beautiful on all departaments! Dream car for sure...

23

That's heavenly. Music to my ears :p

25

I'm not flaccid right now!



I've been wondering why people with a vehicle like this would rev there engine like that, at cold start up?



I totally agree that the first thing that comes to my mind, seeing the first frame of this video, is a Ferrari (Enzo). I know that zagato is italian, but is it racist to think maybe all there (italian) car designs look pretty similiar?

Incredible engine but it looks entirely too much like a Ferrari with the tail lights and red paint, there is no way in heck they didn't realize the similiarities before releasing this vehicle. This car looks like what Ferrari wanted the FF to be.

28

The car just won in my book. Its like they took the epic sounding Vantage V8 and made it into a V12... making it historic.



I personally think they should've made the tail lights oval to end this Ferrari thing. Oval with a white center.

Aston Martin have signed off the road-going version of their aggressive V12 Zagato racer – production
