Knew it. As soon as we clapped eyes on the gorgeous Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato, we suspected Aston wouldn"t be able to resist a small production run.So it transpires. Today, Aston has confirmed that it intends to build just 99 of the Vanquish Zagato coupes, to order, at its facility in Gaydon.And about that order: we"re told that they"ve already sold out. So while the price is a moot point, the lucky 99 would have paid around 500,000 for the privilege. Yikes.Though that"s some privilege. While technically it"s a gussied up Vanquish, the end result is more than the sum of its parts. It takes the new Vanquish"s base, fits an uprated 592bhp version of Aston"s venerable 6.0-litre V12, and slots it underneath that bespoke, carbon fibre body.We"re told the VZ will be able to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds, performance that is allied to "a unique suspension setup" to give the driver "a true dynamic experience".
