Great looking car but just doesn't have a 500k look to me.

I agree that the price is crazy. Why buy this when you can get the V12V (the same car with a different skin) for a ton less money? I guess if you really need exclusivity . . .

Ugly, ugly car. This is the worst AM Zagato since the mid-80s version.

It may be exclusive, but it ain't pretty. It'll never be a 'classic'.

The rear end looks like a TVR....the body is a vantage in drag... I don't really like the interior much at all....

it's not worth the price...as mentioned my money would goto the v12 vantage over this in a second...

I honestly don't know what they are trying to achieve, but I just don't see the beauty in this design.

Thought the same, until I saw the car in person -- but since the design has really grown on me.

I don't understand the price of the car . . . know a local car enthusiast who has placed an order for the car, so looking forward to seeing it on the streets.

Doesn't make it less ugly. Especially those ridiculous looking wheels.

I think the Zegato is a stunning car in person, it's definatly an aquired taste though, the front end to most look outlandinsh , but I gotta admit the car is growing on me... there's just something about that car!
