Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Inspired by the 50th anniversary of the legendary DB4GT Zagato, Aston Martin has once again teamed with the Italian design house, with stunning results. The Aston Martin V12 Zagato ($TBA) offers aggressive yet graceful curves courtesy of a handcrafted bonded aluminum body, and features a front mid-mounted 6.0L V12 engine pumping out 510 hp, rear wheel drive, a steel roll cage, a six-speed gearbox with auto-shift and select shift manual modes, menacing LED taillights, and the iconic Zagato double bubble roof.

^ Nice.... :applaud:

But it still ain't a McLaren F1. :mrgreen:

No arguing that. :)
