Is it just me or is the Zagato rear more suited to a David Attenborough documentary than the Aston book of cool design ?confused

When the Zagato pics surfaced the first place I looked, the rear end execution. I was hoping for dramatic as I am in the midst of designing and fabricating an upgrade to the arse of my V8 Vantage. Like hartley, I was disappointed, although these two cars are racers and probably compromised by severe time pressure. No doubt the 'for sale" cars will be slicker and vastly improved.

A real plus noted in the Zagato story...their torque tubes were cast in magnesium(hopefully in the same tooling used for our cast aluminum OE parts). It would be great if those super light parts became available for our cars.

It's the torque tube from the 1-77.

I would rather expect it will be pricey!!

On the Zagato front, I'm looking at a nissan GTR. The roof line and kink in the roof line between edge of windows and the C pillar is very similar.

But the GTR has ugly doors, ugly skirts and the wheels are too big.

You're being a lot kinder than some have been. Do a search.
