DB7 Zagato
Supreme Italian designer Andrea Zagato has reworked the aesthetically perfect Aston Martin DB7 to give it a fresh, distinctive Zagato-esque look. For those who havent seen it, this is the finished product:
The DB7 Zagato is instantly recognisable from standard DB7's due to its extra swoopy look (note the Zagato signature double-bubble roof) and shorter wheelbase. The aluminium bodywork is hand-shaped and the car weighs in at 60kg lighter than a standard DB7. The 6l V12 is tuned up to 440bhp and the suspension is sport-tweaked to cope. The interior of the car is truly a masterpiece. The chocolate coloured leather looks exquisite and the plastic switches in the DB7 are replaced by aluminium ones in the Zagato. Personally, while i do like the new look of the car, it isnt preferrable to the standard DB7 body, which is truly perfect, the most beautiful Aston and one of the most beautiful cars of all time. The drive is said to be improved, due to the lighter, stiffer body and retuned suspension. That I like . Aston has said between 75-99 of the DB7 Zagato will be built, and all have already been snapped up. Another classic is born cheers, jay |

Look Close in the front but guess not now that i looked again. Here is the DB AR1 though.
Looks good except for that GRILL. Shouldn't Over Heat. |
