Green Ride of the Hour - Aston Martin DB4 GTZ

AC 378 GT Zagato

  
Geneva, March 2012: AC 378 GT Zagato
The legendary 111-year old AC brand is continuing with its Anglo-Italian heritage and is pleased to launch the AC 378 GT Zagato. The new AC 378 GT Zagato, is also the latest in a long line of collaborations with the very best British car manufacturers during the Milanese Atelier's 93 years history. These include not only AC but also Aston Martin, Bentley, Bristol, Jaguar, MG, Rolls-Royce and Rover.

AC and Zagato first cooperated in 1957, creating the AC Ace Bristol Zagato one-off, a pure racing GT
Berlinetta today considered an instant classic in the AC model portfolio. It was designed with the typical Zagato double-bubble roof and equipped with a 2 litre inline-6 engine. This sought after car will be back at Pebble Beach 2012 for a special event featuring AC Cars. The AC 378 GT Zagato and the AC Ace Bristol Zagato will be there to celebrate this historic association.

After two years of testing, about ten AC 378 GT Zagato pre-production units have been completed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa where the AC 378 Zagato's manufacturing facility is based. The cockpit's layout is entirely defined by perfectly matching the body's smooth lines, according to the typical Zagato's minimal design cues.

Throughout 2011 the AC 378 GT Zagato has undergone heavy track testing in order to optimize handling & performance and maximize the vehicle's response thanks to a very favourable power-to-weight ratio.

While first deliveries are foreseen starting from mid 2012, AC and Zagato are already conceiving a new roadster concept that follows the tradition of the instant classic roadster. That means a design that is not simply derived from the coupe version but is more in line with the heritage of the classic Cobra. It is expected to be very different from the AC 378 GT Zagato Coupé.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato at Villa d'Este

Zagato and Aston Martin have teamed up once again to unveil an endurance racer concept at Villa d'Este on the of Lake Como. The idea comes from many classics of the partnership such as the DB4GT, V8 Vantage Zagato and DB7 Zagato.

This one will be called the V12 Zagato, taking from the V12 Vantage. It all started in 2010 when the two companies decided to proceed their project with sketches.

Now, it's complete.

Some noticeable adjustments are the new handcrafted aluminum body, new front wings made of seven different pieces of aluminum and the Zagato-based double bubble roof.

The car has a 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 510hp and 570Nm of torque.
