Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

The Aston Martin DB4 GT made its debut at the London Motor Show in 1959. Its design was a collaboration between Aston Martin and Carrozzeria Touring in Milan, which employed aluminium panels mounted on a tubular support frame, known as Superleggera body frame system. Compared to the standard Aston Martin DB4, the GT version had numerous differences which merited a new model. The wheelbase of the Aston Martin DB4 was decreased by 5 inches for the GT version, which greatly improved the performance of the car on the race track whilst reducing its overall weight. Additionally, the engine was fitted with a twin-plug head and 45 DCO Webers to boost its power output to 302 bhp. This iteration was the first of its type to feature the cowled headlights which would later become a hallmark of Aston Martin. Technical Specifications
