Didn't know these existed. Googled it as Richard Tipper just posted a tweet which implies he is currently working on one.....

My favourite part of the original was the rear hatch and the beautifully detailed exhausts and they got rid of both :lol:
Have Zagato made anything good this century?

Rear arches look like they might be a smidge wider - leaving the rear wheels slightly more inboard and therefore visually less aggressive :?: :?

Its quite subtle but i can definitely see more of a Porsche silhouette now, more of a 959 successor 8-)

Reminds me of a Ruf CTR3.

I’d see that and think it was an mr2 or fiero underneath

I like the new roofline as never really liked the original which only looked any good with the roof off, and like that they changed those awful generic hella rear lights in the bumper which were glued to the back of every max power bodykitted car in the early 2000s, but not keen on the rest of the changes to the bumper.

It does tread the line of looking a bit too similar but not quite right so people will assume it’s a kitcar.

I kind of like what they've done with the roofline, but why on earth would you mess with the exhausts like that? Tinkering for the sake of it.

The original looked very unique and maybe a bit awkward at the back of the driver's tub depending on the angle with the roof on, but it was all part of the unique design for me.

That, the Carrera GT is about the best looking supercar of the last 20 years imo, all they’ve done is make it slightly worse.

Zagato should stick to making interesting Aston Martins.

Or making slightly worse Astons 😄

I generally like what they do with Astons. I'd definitely have a Vanquish Shooting Brake if the opportunity ever arose.

The DB4 Zagato was good. They've generally not done so well since...

I like the zagato db7, I think they look great in real life. That one is a weird angle and the plate glued on top doesn’t help.

I like the old V8 Zagato too, looks like a car from the dystopian future.
