The continuations, um, continue. Aston Martin"s latest is the 1960s DB4 GT Zagato, perhaps its prettiest and most sought-after car ever. Aston"s going to make another 19, which will all roll out of the same Newport Pagnell plant that produced the originals. Like Aston"s DB5 continuations, it"ll be track-only, presumably thanks to complex, fun-sponge safety regulations. But with its body made of "thin-gauge aluminium" panels and its straight-six pumping a very healthy 380bhp to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual, you might be thankful you"re only allowed to drive it at places designed to be safely crashed at. It"s going to take some mastering, this thing. Aston"s making 19 more DB4 GTs to mark the centenary of Zagato, but it"s not stopping there. Buy one and like some sort of lottery win-level Hot Wheels multipack, it"ll also come alongside a modern take on the recipe, a road-legal DBS GT Zagato, based on the new, quite mad DBS Superleggera.
