Almost a year after its presentation in concept form at the Concorso D’Eleganza at Villa D’Este , the production version of Aston Martin's new V12 Zagato made its world premiere today at the2012 Kuwait Concours d’ Elegance before it heads over to the Geneva Salon in March for its European debut .
The new Aston Martin is essentially a re-skinned version of the V12 Vantage designed by Italian coachbuilder Zagato in celebration of the golden anniversary of the 1962 DB4GT Zagato.
The coachbuilt Aston sports the same normally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 as the regular Vantage, which means it delivers 517PS (510bhp) at 6,500 rpm and 570Nm (420lb ft) of torque at 5,750rpm, to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
Only 150 examples will be built, with sales to start in the summer. For those of you with deep enough pockets to be interested, the starting price is £330,000 (plus local taxes), or about US$519,700 or €398,500 at today's (Feb. 15, 2012) exchange rates.
Kudos for the tip to Abdul from FanGears!
