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?

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
