2018 Aston Martin Zagato Speedster 1 of 28 Worldwide

Gentlemen,

I have the distinct pleasure of being able to work on this very rare Aston Martin Zagato. Here are some very quick pictures I took and will take more. It is very beautiful.

I thought I would share this rare car with you guys. Alot is from the Vanquish, but there are some neat things on it. The whole A Pillar and Windshield surrounds are in carbon fiber, the center stack is in gold/green carbon fiber, and of course the spoked taillights. Please ask if you would like to see something specific, its not everyday even I get to see something like this.

Maybe it's me, but I feel like lately car designers idea making cars next level is adding lot of carbon fiber. IMHO- this car is just lot of carbon & nothing else, i don't get it.... What happened to classic elegant Zagato design??? not sure about this one. thumbs down for me.. Maybe I'm too old fashion..

My 2 cents.

G - I havent done anything but get it wiped down. No one has touched it yet. It will get the last 10% of gloss wrung out of it, then be completely wrapped in Paint Protection Film (not me for this part).

I will perfect the paint and all clear coated surfaces before that is covered.

We are not sure at this time what coating or protectant that will go on the paint. A special PPF will be installed (8mil thick) that has some of its own properties that will need to be taken into account for.

A test panel of that PPF will be done on my Aston this week, with 4 different coatings to see which will be the best to apply.

Final pics will be shown, so people can somewhat see how well a new car can be, when properly polished to perfection.

Beautiful! I love the rear end, that is how the new vantage needed to transition from body to diffusor. One question. Are those driving lights in the grill? I see the headlights have them, not sure what the round things are?

Funny, my former salesman is posting pics of himself sitting in it on his Linkedin account.

Do the owner a favor and lose the front license plate mount!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd another batmobile comes out of the garage of zagato .
To much carbon fibre , to much red (should have done sandstorm interior) that front licence plate mount is an abomination, the grill just plain ugly and those taillights look like hell .
IMHO .

I generally like much of the styling changes- not so much the extra CF additions or the buttress cowlings. The front end, rear, hood scoops and headlights would look great on the new Vantage.

I should add I like the rear end -- minus the gun turret taillights

Front LP bracket is coming off , or is already off. They put that on in the factory. Dealer is taking it off.

In person, the red on red doesn't look bad. I typically hate red interiors unless on a white w/ red Corvette. Only car that I could stand it on. I really dislike the Maserati red interiors.

But, this isn't bad in person. I would buy it, Rather have black, and sandstorm might not look bad depending on the stitching used.

If you look at the pictures, this one ISNT a Speedster Zagato. The one I showed the pic of doesn't even have a top, much less the two back seats.

This one is 1.25 million or so. Different car sir. But a Zagato none the less
