Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Speedster and Shooting Brake Revealed
Take a quick look at these spectacular new spin-offs Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Speedster and Shooting Brake, because you might never see them again.

Take a quick look at these spectacular new spin-offs: the Vanquish Zagato Speedster and Shooting Brake, because you might never see them again. Only 28 od the amazing Vanquish Zagato Speedsters will be made, with 99 Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brakes also confirmed to complete a family of four.


 

Let’s cover the Speedster first; the car we can see in all its voluptuous, agonisingly good-looking glory. While the Volante maintains a set of all-but useless rear seats, the Speedster bins them in favour of awesome naked carbonfibre fairings (‘Speed Humps’) behind the two remaining seats, linked by an aerodynamic fin. As design goes… we like. All the body panels are lightweight carbonfibre, too – as with all the Vanquish Zagato cars. Admittedly there’s something quite F-Type-ish about the rear haunches, but that’s like criticising a pudding because it tastes too much like another perfect dessert you had once. There’s no roof at all, but you do get fetching red ‘Z’ Zagato badges to complement that breathtaking bodywork.

 

 

The Speedster will be the rarest of the four-strong Zagato family. It will be made just 28 times, where the other three each total 99 cars. The overall production for the four is capped at 325, so if you’ve bought one and you’re reading this, please do drive it, but don’t crash it. Naturally, even though the embargo for this story has only just lifted, all 28 Speedsters have already been sold, with deliveries pencilled in for 2018. Prices will be well over £500,000. Some customers have, according to Aston Martin, ordered one of each body style. Ponder that for a second…

 

 

Like the Speedster the Shooting Brake is a two-seater, so it’s clearly not built for practicality. Don’t be daft, etc. Like its three brothers it’s based on the 592bhp Vanquish S and the Touchtronic III gearbox. The adaptive damping is fettled differently for each model to account for weight and balance changes, but design cues remain intact. On the Shooting brake that means a roof that curves into a graceful ‘double bubble’ shape, bookended by a powered tailgate and a tailored luggage set, because why not. Aston hasn’t specifically said that the Shooting Brake has sold out, so if you have many, many large-denomination notes bursting out of your pockets, you might want to place a swift call to your local dealer.
