Aston Martin Starts Shipping The First DB4 GT Zagato Continuation Cars

After many months of preparations, development, building and testing, Aston Martin has completed the first units of the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation.

Built by hand at the Heritage Division headquarters in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, UK, production is limited to only 19 units. The company did not say how many have been shipped to date, but a couple of months ago, they had 10 examples in different stages of construction.

“Christmas may be just around the corner now, but for 19 astute car collectors, it is most definitely coming early”, said President of Aston Martin Works, Paul Spires. “The DB4 GT Zagato Continuation program has been our most challenging and rewarding to date, and it is a genuine honor to see the fruits of our not inconsiderable labors making their way to owners around the globe.”

Part of the DBZ Centenary Collection, the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation is sold together with the DBS GT Zagato. The striking styling of the modern GT is complemented by a very powerful 5.2-liter V12 engine with 725 PS (715 hp / 533 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. It needs only 3.4 seconds to cover the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration and has a 339 km/h (211 mph) top speed.

As for the financial part, back when Aston Martin had yet to sell all units, you would’ve spent at least £6 million ($7.7/€7 million) in the UK for the bundle. That’s before taxes and any optional extras, of course.
