Remember the stunning Aston Martin Vanquish
Zagato coupe unveiled last summer?
Well, the car is about to spawn both a Vanquish Zagato
Volante convertible and a permanently roofless Vanquish Zagato Speedster.
Both cars are expected to be revealed during the 2017
Monterey Car Week in mid-August.
Aston Martin has already
previewed the convertible and today we have new photos of the speedster
courtesy of a prototype spotted at the Nürburgring and on some of the German
race track's surrounding roads.
We know this is the Vanquish Zagato Speedster because of the
massive buttresses behind the cabin. There’s also the fact that the test driver
at one point was cruising around without a roof despite torrential rain.
In contrast, the Vanquish Zagato Volante will feature the
automated soft-top roof found on the regular Vanquish
Volante.
Aston Martin is only building 99 Vanquish Zagato coupes. An
equal number of Vanquish Zagato Volante convertibles are planned. The Vanquish
Zagato Speedster, however, is expected to be built in a smaller run of just 28
examples.
All three feature special design touches penned by Italian
design house Zagato, with the standout feature being the “bladed'” LED
taillights. The cars also receive a 592-horsepower version of Aston Martin’s
outgoing 5.9-liter V-12. That’s 24 more horses than the regular Vanquish, or
enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in around 3.5 seconds.
