25 March 2019, Gaydon: With the upcoming Centenary celebrations for world-renowned Italian #design house #zagato soon upon us, it is the perfect moment to release the first detailed renderings of the new DBS GT #zagato; the second half of the remarkable #dbzcentenarycollection.
 
Created to celebrate the centenary of the legendary #zagato signature, the #dbzcentenarycollection is a unique project that pays tribute to an icon of the past and creates a classic of the future. This unique collaboration extends a remarkable creative partnership spanning almost 60 years. One that has consistently generated bold and breathtakingly exciting designs, the latest of which being the DBS GT #zagato.
 
Taking Aston Martin’s most potent series production car - the acclaimed DBS Superleggera - as its starting point, the DBS GT #zagato embodies the next evolution in Aston Martin #zagato #design language. Inspired by the voluptuous shapes that previously dressed the original DB4 GT #zagato, Aston Martin and Zagatos designers have worked hard to conjure a similarly evocative #design language.
 
A key #design feature remains the iconic double-bubble roof. Stretching the full length of the canopy, this fresh interpretation delivers a clean and sculptural form that flows from the top of the front windscreen to the car’s rearmost tip, discarding the traditional rear windscreen in favour of a purer roofline. The double-bubble theme continues frontwards across the car’s bonnet, reminiscent of the shape and form seen on original Aston Martin #zagato designs. These flowing curves are complemented by the model’s wide wrap-around windscreen, removing any hard lines above the car’s shoulder line.
 
Muscular rear haunches deliver powerful and purposeful definition to the car’s side profile, while a unique wheel #design, headlamps and a striking front grille – a key feature for all Aston Martin #zagato designs - continue to deliver a modern twist on the DB4 GT Zagato’s classic form.
 
Speaking of the DBZ #zagato Collection, Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Lagonda’s Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, added: “In the DB4 GT #zagato Continuation we have one of the world’s most beautiful and instantly recognisable pieces of car #design. Creating a car fit to stand alongside it was always going to be a formidable challenge, but also a great motivation. Both #design teams at Aston Martin and #zagato have together risen to the task magnificently; taking the already fabulous DBS Superleggera and shaping something which retains its identity as an Aston Martin, but expresses itself as only a #zagato can. Sensational-looking and extremely rare, it is the modern incarnation of a timeless icon.”
 
Paired to the build run of 19 DB4 GT #zagato Continuations, the DBS GT #zagato will only be available as part of the £6m (plus taxes) #dbzcentenarycollection, thereby becoming one of the rarest and most coveted of all the modern-era Aston Martin Zagatos.
 
First deliveries to customers will commence QTR 4 2019 for the DB4 GT #zagato Continuation and QTR 4 2020 for the DBS GT #zagato.
