Video: Aston Martin V12 Zagato Sounds Meaner Than it Looks

The Aston Martin V12 Zagato showed itself at the Villa d'Este concours this weekend. This noise should make you forget about all of those perfectly valid "kinda looks like a GT-R" thoughts.

Brutally beautiful. Probably not legal in the US.

I love the sound of cams in the morning!

Seriously though, they need to up the idle a little. Sounds like the car is about to stall.

Great God, that thing is mighty. It has the low end burble of a 60's muscle car, the midrange cam overlap from a proper DOHC car, and the high end wail of angels and man-stuff that fascinates me about the LF-A. It is the most glorious sounding road car I've ever heard.

PERIOD.

Yes this is a GORGEOUS car! I dont see the resemblance to the GT-R but if it's there, its not a terrible car to be compared to.

I think the rear of the car says "Don't mess with me."

Not so sure about the pinched rear end, but that sound could wake the dead.

That screams out for a full thottle run through a tunnel.
