World-renowned Italian design house Zagato has released detailed renderings of the new DBS GT Zagato – the second half of the DBZ Centenary Collection. The collection is to be launched to celebrate the centenary of the legendary Zagato signature. The unique project is intended to pay tribute to an iconiccar through the creation of a future classic. Using Aston Martin\u2019s acclaimed DBS Superleggera as a starting point, and inspired by the voluptuous shapes of the original DB4 GT Zagato, designers from Aston Martin and Zagato have worked together to create a similarly evocative design language. When it comes to key design features, the freshinterpretation of the iconic double-bubble roof stands out. Its clean,sculptural form stretches the full length of the canopy, discarding thetraditional rear windscreen for a purer roofline. The double bubble motifcontinues across the cars bonnet, complemented by a wide wrap around windscreenthat removes any severe lines above the vehicle\u2019s shoulder line. Adding to the striking effect are muscular rear haunches, a unique wheel design, headlamps, and – of course – the dramatic front grille: a key feature for all Aston Martin Zagato designs. Speaking about the DBZ Zagato Collection, Marek Reichman,Aston Martin Lagonda\u2019s executive vice president and chief creative officer,said: \u201cIn the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation we have one of the world\u2019s mostbeautiful and instantly recognisable pieces of car design. Creating a car fitto stand alongside it was always going to be a formidable challenge, but also agreat motivation.\u201dHe added that both teams – Aston Martin and Zagato – have \u201crisen to the task magnificently\u201d, by taking the DBS Superleggera and creating a car \u201cwhich retains its identity as an Aston Martin, but expresses itself as only a Zagato can\u201d.\u201cSensational-looking andextremely rare, it is the modern incarnation of a timeless icon,\u201d he finished.
