"You can now order the new Zagato, which will be produced as a limited run of of only 150cars. But be ready to do the lottery this weekend as the final list price has come in at £330,000 plus taxes (£396,000 in the UK), some £260,000 more than the V12 Vantage which it is based on!"

I don't think it is too bad really. I was anticipating around the £350k-£400k mark. If any Ferrari or Lamborghini did a limited run with new body, despite being basicly the same underneath, they would charge similar amounts, if not more (think Lamborghini Reventon).
I would guess that you could buy one, and never lose any money on it, so I don't see why people are saying it's too expensive.

Up yours Murph! 
You haven't?You'll be telling us next you have his n hers Cygnets.
It has a bit of a whiff of crapness about it though, you have to admit. The DB7Z wasn't that great, but this is all a bit...gawky. Deffo blow up doll has love tryst with Nissan GT-R and Ferrari FF. And allegedly little to do with Zagato if the above is to be believed.
Sorry Aston, I'm drifting off. The AMV8's a dream. Blurry Vanquish. The old V8. The DB5, DB4....drifting off slowly

Correct, I haven't, but I would if the cash was lying around gathering dust. I don't find it 'gawky', I think it looks brutal, especially in motion. I'm still a biiiig fan of the original V8V shape, but I prefer the Zag to piddling around with sills, little diffusers etc. as Aston has done. At least it's different to the rest of the range (although you could say that of the Cygnet, I suppose!).You'll be telling us next you have his n hers Cygnets.

Hope I didn't wake you
fortunately for me I prefer the way the V12V looks.
no doubt I would be very excitable if I saw one in real life, but I won't be rushing down to the AM dealer.
interesting though that they didn't up the power any. I have been reliably informed that it would be a very straightforward thing to do.

Does the side view remind anyone else of a Nissan GTR?
I think it's the roof & windows shape
There were a few likenesses of it made here:I think it's the roof & windows shape

Anyway, back on topic, name me another limited edition, re-bodied, prestige car for less than £400k! Exactly!
Surely the last thing the V12V was really in need of was re-bodying. Anyway, back on topic, name me another limited edition, re-bodied, prestige car for less than £400k! Exactly!
Are there any pictures of the inside?
400k buys a lot of cars old and new that would kick this into next Sunday.
