This year is the 60th year of the cooperation between Zagato and Aston Martin, and 2019 is also the 100th anniversary of Zagato's official establishment. In this regard, the two companies jointly developed a limited edition model with Swiss R-Reforged company—— Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage Twins.
It’s not difficult to see from the car’s name that buyers can’t buy one alone, but need to buy Coupe and Speedster in packages. The gold and silver coatings are like the "Golden Horn King and King" in Journey to the West. Silver Horn King". The new car will be sold in a limited edition of 19 pairs, which is 38 cars, and the first pair of products produced just a few days ago has been used as Zagato's private collection.
is one of the 19 pairs in this limited edition, and it is also to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Zagato’s birth. Each pair of products is completed by R-Reforged’s new factory in Warwick, UK. All products are made by hand. The first pair of models created is not only reserved for Zagato’s private collection, but the new car will be exhibited in Aston Martin St. Gallen, Switzerland before the end of 2020. Only then will we officially see these two The overall view of the car, of course, the viewing distance will certainly not be too close, after all, every car is expensive.
So why set the limit at "19"? Because 2019 is the 100th year of Zagato Atelier's establishment, and 1919 is the time when the brand was officially established, "19" is a milestone for this company.
From the appearance point of view, the new car uses a large number of Zagato's iconic design elements, and continues the overall shape of the Aston Martin Vantage model, and the body uses two body colors, gold and silver, which are officially called gold ( Oro Angelica) and platinum (Platino Acanto). Gold is a symbol of purity and dignity, and is a tribute to the brand's century of history; while platinum has strong corrosion resistance and catalytic ability, which is also Zagato's desire for the next 100 years.
In terms of aerodynamics, the Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage Twins will be equipped with a newly designed sports package and an active lifting tail. In the interior, more luxurious materials are used, such as leather materials with unlimited colors and customizable patterns and textures to ensure that the car has a sufficient sense of luxury. In addition, the front windshield of the Speedster version has been designed to be longer, and the carpet inside the car has also been reprocessed.
But for those prospective car owners who have them right away, they can also customize any vehicle area according to their personal preferences. Both the exterior and interior can provide any color samples and materials, and these things are only unexpected and not done. Less than.
In terms of power, the Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage Twins is equipped with a retuned 6.0-liter V12 engine with a maximum power of 600 horsepower, which is 85 horsepower higher than the conventional Vantage, but I believe most people who buy them are only As a collection, there are very few people who really drive them fiercely, because their artistic value has far exceeded the tool attributes of cars.
Someone will certainly ask, are these 19 pairs of products available? the answer is negative. According to the official disclosure, Aston Martin Vantage V12 Zagato Heritage Twins will be selectively offered to exclusive users of Zagato, even if they have money, they may not be able to buy them. But it doesn't matter. The cooperation between the two companies is still going on. It is expected that they will launch more artistic and more refined models in the future. You can wait and see.
