When you hear Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, how long does it take you to pull that mental file out of the drawer and have the image of that iconic racer splashed all over the inside of your brain? Milliseconds if you're anything like us. And it'll take you hours before anything else is sitting in that slot. If you didn't manage anything **gasp** click here.
And now, 50 years after that collaboration, Aston Martin and Zagato are at it again with this sketch, the physical version of which is to be released at the Villa D'Este concours in Italy on May 21. (That show is getting good.)
Aston Martin is showing the concept to "gauge initial customer reaction, with a view to a production car following in 2012." CEO Ulrich Bez added, "The DNA of both Aston Martin and Zagato has combined successfully to make some of the world's most desirable collector cars in the past and in this special anniversary year of the DB4GT Zagato it is appropriate to explore a modern collaboration."
After the initial showing at Villa D'Este, the concept will be raced at the Nurburgring endurance race on May 28.
