To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the DB4GT, Aston Martin has teamed up once again with renowned Italian designer Zagato, and the pair will present the results of their collaboration at Italy’s Concorso Villa d’Este on May 21.
The companies will gauge the public’s reaction to the all-new creation and determine if the model will be built in 2012. After its official debut, the car will be heading to the famous Nürburgring track on May 28, where it will be put through its gruelling paces.
In 1961, Aston Martin approached Zagato to develop a lighter and more potent version of the DB4GT. Amid street legal models, three units were designed specifically for the track and used to great success by legendary drivers like Jim Clark and Roy Salvadori.
