Aston Martin is rebuilding 19 classic DB4 GT Zagatos, because why the hell wouldn"t you. The DB4 GT Zagato remains one of the prettiest Astons ever built; a collaboration with Zagato back in the 1960s, for a car designed and built to go racing against Ferrari. The company"s heritage division is now undertaking the build of the new-old DB4s, using HAMMERS. Yep, Top Gear"s favourite manufacturing device is being brought into good use. Aston will use more modern techniques too, naturally including a "digital body buck" but mostly, hammers. "The hand-finished body panels of the new cars, each worked from flat sheets of 1.2mm thick aluminium and representing hundreds of world-class craftsmanship, are created using techniques that were commonplace almost 60 years ago," Aston says.
