Official: Aston Martin putting V12 Zagato into limited production with £330,000 price tag
It’s official, ladies and gents: the Aston Martin V12 Zagato is entering production. Still, we wouldn’t expect to see one down at the local dealership anytime soon. That’s because, as, only 150 examples will be made, each fetching a whopping £330,000. That’s before taxes, and by current conversion rates, it comes in around $525,000.
To put that into perspective, consider the following: over in the UK, ’s flagship LP670-4 SV cost about £220k (roughly $350k), the new that succeeds it, slightly less. The Ferrari 599 GTO – its current top-of-the-line model – goes for £305,000 (around $490k).
In other words, the latest Aston is more expensive than just about anything this side of the seven-figure league populated by the likes of the , Pagani Huayra, and Aston’s own One-77, which stands as the only offering in the company’s range that’s still more expensive than the Zagato. Everything else is less than half the price being asked for this latest coachbuilt special.
Those are some big figures, but the V12 Zagato is definitely big on beauty. Before it hits those lucky few dealerships, we’re expecting to see a few more road-car compromises to the almost-race-ready concours show car and the competition-spec version that subsequently tackled the Nürburgring. You know, stuff like a full interior (likely to be swathed in Alcantara), electric windows instead of these sliding plastic jobs and maybe a nose that’ll be able to get up your driveway without losing its carbon-fiber splitter. So watch this space for those pre-production photos and check out the existing galleries in the meantime, along with the press release after the jump.
