In addition to these two jewels, the British carmaker will offer guests at the Aston Martin Estate a unique opportunity to put its various models to the test, including the Virage, Vantage S and Rapide.

The V12 Zagato and its mighty 6.0-litre engine originally made their debut in Italy at the prestigious Concours de Villa D’Este, where Aston Martin won numerous awards. Later, it made the most of its 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque during the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Production is said to be limited throughout 2012.

Meanwhile, the exclusive One-77, with a hand-built, 710-horsepower, 7.3-litre V12, aluminum body and carbon chassis, promises to blow the minds of everyone in attendance with its sublime looks.
