Remember when we told you that Aston Martin was rebuilding 19 versions of its gorgeous DB4 GT Zagato with hammers? Well, after 4,500 hours of bashing away, the first example is now finished. And doesn"t it look divine? The original, 1960s DB4 GT Zagato was built to take on Ferrari"s dominant race cars of the time, and the aluminium bodywork applied by Zagato was light, but also painstakingly beautiful. Like its forefather, the Continuation model will be track-only. However, while the looks and the Rosso Maja red paint may be an exact replica of the original, some of the bits under the skin have been subtly adapted to make it even better to drive.
