Anyone seen new DB7 Zagato?
Discussion
Latest EVO mag has this limited edition special featured.
I personally think it's quite sublime and am looking to see if any minor relatives can be unloaded to finance a punt.
In fact, it might be good enough to persaude Rowan Atkinson to revisit the contemporary Aston fold; it even has untreated leather seats to encourage that classic, well worn look. How quaint.
If this is a made in Britain product (no quips about Ford/Jag parts bins, please) then it's a pretty good reason to be terribly proud of yer passport.
What dost the PH collective think of it?

Any Aston is a glorious thing, but I prefer the sublime looks of the standard DB7.
I've never been a fan of any of Zagato's work (other than the most ugly car in the world - the Alfa SZ!) and even the DB4 and Aston V8 Zagato's don't really do it for me.
Have you seen the Autocar rendering for the new "small" Aston and the new DB7? Now they really DO look the business....

Gotta say I like it. Zagato have hit the nail on the head with their italian slant on the DB7 shape, its elegantly different.

Well said, Matt! I particularly like the excessive play on the front grille; ready for a spot of rarefied tarmac snuffling.
The rear is, IMHO, a masterstroke and from the side - perhaps the angle I'm least taken by - it resembles the Vanquish rather than DB7.
The DB7 is externally one of the prettiest things to house an internal combustion engine, for sure but unlike some of Zagato's previous efforts with Aston I do find this to be something immensely agreeable.
Seen it and sat in it, about a month ago. As far as I know only the one exists so far and they wouldn't let me look under the bonnet as it was a bit 'untidy'.
It looks even better in the metal, lovely lines, once again from Zagato, pretty in a sort of ugly way. The only disappointment is that it still has Ford switchgear- if TVR can make their own, surely Aston can do the same on a 160,000 car.
It will be made in the UK *and* Italy- the chassis will be shipped out, bodied and returned for finishing.
Had confirmation today that its definately being built- 99 in total, about 55 for the UK- all taken I'm afraid. It will look super parked next to my 'ugly' sz!
