Generally not keen on Zagato designs......this is one of only a few that ever truly improved an original Italian design...let them get away with wheels.....it is a keen-edged/sharp design though.......

I saw some kind of green Aston/Zagato thing on the way up to the Malt Shovel on Thursday, I'm not knowledgeable to know what it was. No mistaking the Aston badge on the back and the Zagato style mouth on the front of the car though.

When this was posted before I wasn't fussed by it..The rear window line is like a Nissan 350Z...But was watching race at the Ring 24hrs and I will say it did look and sound stunning.

It looks good at first glance but after studying it I have my doubts. It seems to have very shallow side windows and would probably feel quite claustrophobic inside and I'm not sure about all that cr4p hanging off the back. Wheels are sh1te; too jagged for my liking and not really in keeping with the rest of the design. Overall, it's Ok I guess.

.....best not to 2nd glance it then Ian......the cabin windows/style are ditto the 4c...have a look......wheels are changeable......

Might have been a DB7 Zagato?

Opionion is very divided on it, mostly negative it seems. This thread is the most positive I have seen!

I would like to see it in something other than these lurid reds and greens, a Calfornia Sage or Quantum Silver would change a lot of people's minds.

£400k and 150 will be made. It's a lot of money for a rebodied Vantage V12, though it is properly handmade, panels made on a wheel in the old way.

I really dislike that! Wing vents from a Nissan GTR, rear from a Ferrari/TVR hybrid, bonnet scoops from a Mitsubishi Evo and wheels from Halfords!

Also can't help but think they've been very lazy and just produced something from 2 cars they Photoshopped together - Ferrari SuperAmerica at each end with a Nissan GTR in the middle!:

Comes to something when the likes of Ferrari are copying your design, hats off to Nissan.

I personally think the Fezzer looks fab, but accept your observations MAF.

I cant believe I am saying this, but all Ferrari have to do now is make it go as well as the GTR!!!!

That's a tough ask Matt. A 3.8ltr straight six pushing out 540bhp and getting to 60 in 3 secs. That will take a LOT of matching never mind beating. And I bet they can't do it for £60k!
