About the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
A collaboration between Aston Martin and Milanese coachbuilder Zagato, this car was designed by a young Ercole Spada to beat Ferrari on the track. It features a lightened, more aerodynamic aluminium body and a high-compression version of Tadek Marek's twin-spark straight-six engine. Though it struggled to match the Ferrari 250 GTO in period racing, its breathtaking design and extreme rarity have made it one of the most coveted collector cars in existence. Only 19 original examples were built, each possessing unique hand-crafted details.

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato fun facts
- The car was so aerodynamic and light that it could reach nearly 154 mph, a staggering figure for a road-legal car in the early 1960s.
- Two of the most famous examples, registered '1 VEV' and '2 VEV', were campaigned by the Essex Racing Stable and driven by legends like Jim Clark.
- Despite its current legendary status, the car was initially a slow seller, leading Aston Martin to halt production after just 19 of the planned 25 units.
