“Over 50 years since the introduction of the iconic DB4GT Zagato, Aston Martin and Zagato have collaborated to create this modern interpretation which remains true to the original focus of craftsmanship, performance and exclusivity.”
As well as the Aston Martin V12 Zagato going on display a number of additional rare Aston Martins from private owners from around the world are likely to go on display at Kuwait Concours d’Elegance too, including an original DB4GT Zagato from just over 50 years ago.
