Aston Martin DB7 Zagato

(from Zagato Press Release) Aston Martin DB7Z Zagato was born during a meeting between Elio’s son Andrea Zagato, and Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd., in Pebble Beach Concours of Elegance 2001. The idea was to relaunch the collaboration between the two companies.

Four months later (January 2002), Zagato presented to Ulrich Bez and Henrich Fisker his first sketches of the car and obtained the approval during the Geneva Motorshow (March 2002).

This represents a new chapter in the long-standing relationship between the two firms inaugurated in the Sixties with the DB4 Zagato and subsequently consolidated with the Vantage and Volante Zagato. The sleek and muscular DB7 Zagato is a return to the styling that made the DB4 Zagato a classic. From a grill that references the original, to the long hood, truncated tail, and curvaceous top crowned by the immortal Zagato “double bubble” roof, the DB7Z can only be an Aston-Zagato. The interior will mimic the DB4Z in being comfortable yet Spartan, a reflection of the DB7Z’s sporty nature and superior performance to the production DB7 Vantage.

The new series of the Aston Martin Vantage V8 for sure is a favourable bargain to own an Aston Martin, but latest with MANSORY customization there is born a one more superlative purebred sportscar. Like all customization ranges the frontspoiler comes with an adaptive 4-line grilleelement, similar to the new 6-line lightweight main radiator grille, afford by the way a better air supply and will give an elegant also a new snappy optical characteristic. Special developed BREMBO brakes with dimensions of 405/32 rotordiscs with 6 piston calibers for the front and add on for the rear dimensions of 405/28 with 4 piston calibers and a integrated handbrake system. There will be a complete new drivers feeling regarding the brakes and the brand new fully forged Aluminium leightweight performance wheels.

Yet another typical detail are the integrated carbon flanks with air intakes behind of them, identic to all the modified range. The rear design shows the apron with an inte- grated carbon diffusor, carbon tail lamp covers and again a step more sportier the rear trunk lid spoiler which supporting the dynamic contact pressure, a total effect comes up to the backside look.
