The Dawn of The 2020 Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato: A Timeless Icon Reimagined
Seemingly cut from a cloth that embodies an intersection between tradition and innovation, the introduction of the 2020 Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato at Audrain’s Newport Concours stakes a bold claim in modern automotive design. Evoking memories of legends past, it carves itself as part of the notable DBZ Centenary Collection shared with its twin, the reinvoked DB4 GT Zagato Continuation.
A Pioneering Marvel in Automotive Design
The unveiling of this beauty occurred in Rhode Island and marked indeed a significant stride for both aesthetic execution and mechanical prowess. It is sculpted to be noticeably more muscular than its sibling, our beloved Aston Martin's flagship Super GT - 2019's DBS Superleggera. While retaining much resemblance to its predecessor, this model seems destined to etch its unique footprint on future roads.
An Element of Power Unleashed
Touting an impressive power output upwards of the previous 725hp offered by Superleggera (remember that mammoth?), underneath its bonnet rests a monstrous beast - a 5.2 liter twin-turbo V12 engine churning out colossal energy capped at precisely 760 brave horses! This release cements further the firm commitment towards delivering power synonymous with unbridled performance.
No reveler should ignore how these figures begin to blur lines between engineering marvels typically confined in realms beyond mainstream production units into what now perches atop everyday supercar territory.
However, let us not lose sight here; much like anyone wearing multiple hats simultaneously – albeit successfully – too has been attempted before which arguably did dilute their core competencies. Thus one might wonder, how will this marriage of sheer power with diverse utility fare in real-world conditions?
Intricately Crafted Aesthetics
The DBS GT Zagato champions the world’s first automotive application of configurable carbon and metal 3D printed finishes. This Nascent technology aims to usher an era that seamlessly fuses traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation. But its magic doesn't end there; it takes a keen eye to admire some literal and figurative jewelry - distinct solid 18-carat gold wings badges positioned upfront and rear, supported by black anodized active front grille flanked by gold anodized side strakes roofying glossy carbon fiber finishing; all setting stage for lustrous Supernova Red color exclusively reserved for Centenary Specification models.
Premium Interiors Embellished with Tradition
Stepping inside reveals the lavish Caithness Spicy Red Leather upholstery accentuated by a detailed Zagato ‘Z’ quilting pattern on seats accessorizing elegantly satin twill exposed carbon fiber components adorning paddle shifts along with the steering wheel.
The clever use of personalized sections replete rich textures effortlessly continues Aston Martin's legacy borne out from years of meticulous attention towards detailing while also intriguingly hinting at future design possibilities through direct customer participation facilitated via 'Q by Aston Martin' bespoke customization services.
Pricing & Other Insights
This modern interpretation commands £6m (exclusive taxes) priding itself as amongst most valuable sports cars yet manufactured under British marquees commemorating their longstanding partnership with Italian coachbuilder – Zagato Design. As part of Centenary celebrations, only limited pairs - precisely totalling nineteen DBZs are destined for production before commencing deliveries expected around late-2019 marking sixty illustrious years working alongside these proven masters in creating inspiring designs.
A Glimpse into the Horizon
As history continues to be written, it's quite fascinating how the journey of Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato has evolved from its prototype phase - born out of a desire for experimentation with lightweight construction techniques during development timeline of DB4 GT Continuation project, up until witnessing this majestic creation today. The ever-evolving landscape indeed presents compelling narratives fostering innovation while remaining rooted in shared heritage ensuring steadfast growth toward sustainable future. Here’s looking forward to more breathtaking tales that vehicles like their 2020 model year Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato create!
