DB7 Zagato

crayzayjay · #1 10-19-2002, 02:23 PM

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

The grille is awesome! I have always wondered what a Vanquish grille would look like on a DB7...needs chrome rims.:flash: :flash:

That is definitely NOT a Vanquish grill...

nope it sure isnt... i think it's slightly too big anyway

SuPeRcAr_MaN · #5 01-20-2003, 09:23 PM

Yea, it is definitely too big... that is one Aston that i don't find too attractive

crayzayjay · #6 01-20-2003, 09:31 PM

I dont like it because of that grille. I much prefer the new V8 Vantage.

new V8 Vantage? or do you mean Vanquish?

Scott 02 · #11 01-21-2003, 04:25 PM

I thought that picture was a aston martin DB-AR1

Scott 02 · #12 01-21-2003, 04:36 PM

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.

Scott, that grill ruins the whole car.

Definitely no overheating though. :silly2:
