"From a collaboration that stretches back over five decades, the creation of Vanquish Zagato once again paired Aston Martin's acclaimed dynamic and material qualities with the prestigious Italian design-house Zagato, showcasing the very best of Aston Martin's spectacular sporting ability and bespoke luxury." - Aston Martin.
Unveiled to great acclaim at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este at Lake Como, Italy in May 2016, the limited series Vanquish Zagato is the latest creation resulting from Aston Martin's long-standing partnership with the prestigious Italian styling house, Carrozzeria Zagato.
The original Vanquish had debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001 with deliveries commencing a few months later. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the V12-engined Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8, the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it.
For the successor, '2nd Generation' Vanquish, production shifted to Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, from whence deliveries commenced in 2012. Developed from the Project AM310 concept car, the Vanquish utilised a new lighter chassis employing more carbon fibre than the existing DBS platform, as well as having all-carbon fibre bodywork. The exterior styling had evolved from that of the DBS, with styling cues such as the elongated side strakes clearly inspired by the exclusive, limited edition One-77, while the boot lid featured an integral rear spoiler. The One-77's influence also extended to the interior, which boasted hand-stitched leather and Alcantara.
Beneath the bonnet there was an upgraded version of Aston Martin's flagship AM11 V12 engine producing 565bhp and 457lb/ft of torque, while the transmission was an 'Touchtronic II' six-speed paddle-shift automatic. In August 2014 Aston Martin announced an improved specification for the Vanquish, which included an eight-speed 'Touchtronic III' gearbox and an AM29 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 568 horsepower. Top speed increased to 320 km/h and the 0-100 km/h time - aided by launch control - dipped to 3.6 seconds.
Keeping all this in check were ventilated carbon ceramic discs all round, gripped by six-piston callipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear. Suspension was by double wishbones front and rear, controlled by a three-way-adjustable adaptive damping system offering Normal, Sport, and Track modes.
Built initially as either a two-seater or 2+2 coupé, the Vanquish also became available in 2013 as a Volante convertible. In November 2016, Aston Martin announced the new Vanquish S, which came with an up-rated engine and a new aerodynamic package. A Volante convertible version became available in 2017, coincidentally with the arrival of the Vanquish Zagato coupé. A Zagato trademark since the 1950s, the newcomer's iconic 'double-bubble' roof was instantly recognisable. The new bodywork was entirely shaped from carbon fibre while reiterating traditional Aston Martin design elements in the form of the front grille and side strakes.
Powered by the AM29 V12 engine from the Vanquish S producing 595bhp, the Vanquish Zagato can deliver a projected 0-100km/h time of 3.5 seconds on its way to a top speed in excess of 320 km/h. According to Aston Martin: "This performance, matched with its unique suspension setup, creates a unique driving experience to stir the senses."
One of only 99 made, this very early, left-hand drive Vanquish Zagato was first registered on 16th August 2016 in the UK and sold by Broughtons Aston Martin. Strangely, this was some three months in advance of the model's official launch, suggesting that this car may have been some kind of prototype or pre-production model. Interestingly, it has certain features that would later form part of the 'Villa d'Este Pack' of cosmetic enhancements, and which were obviously incorporated at the factory. It has all the options, but remarkably not the option code for the 'Villa d'Este Pack'. The following 'Villa d'Este Pack' options are fitted:
Bronze-tinted diamond-turned wheels (fitted from factory)
Bronze-anodised side strakes (fitted from factory)
Bronze-finished air vents (fitted from factory)
Bronze finished seatbelt escutcheons (fitted from factory)
Zagato faded quilt on seats, doors and roof liner (only partly present on this example)
The Zagato is finished in Scorching Black with (mainly) Obsidian Black interior trim. Other fitted options include the following:
Black brake calipers
Black textured tailpipe finisher
Facia trim – full length inlay
Polished aluminium fuel filler cap
Touchtronic 3 gearbox
Carbon fibre paddles
Auto-dipping rear view mirror
Black seatbelts
Sports seat – Isofix
2+2 seating
Black side window finisher.
Representing a wonderful opportunity to acquire what, in its maker's own words is "a truly exclusive and highly prized GT that promises to be as iconic an Aston Martin as it is sought after", this beautiful British supercar currently displays a total of only 19,900 kilometres on the odometer and is presented in beautiful condition. The car is offered with a UK V5C registration document and proof of EU-tax exempt; a detailed specification sheet; and an Aston Martin Certificate of Conformity.
Please note this lot will be subject to additional VAT on the hammer price.
