Light and powerful
in i960 came the ultimate development of the db4 gt, a joint venture between aston martin and carrozzeria zagato of milan. Its voluptuous body was some 100 lbs. Lighter than the touring two-seater, and its engine was even more powerful its standard tune was 314 hp. Zagato built just 19 db4 gts (out of a total of 75 cars); Two were lighter racing models.
searing performance
leading drivers such as stirling moss, roy salvadori and jim clark raced zagato astons, which in the period between i960 and 62 presented a serious challenge to the ferrari 250 gto. On the road, the zagato aston martins
competed in many sports-car races and, in 1961, took the team prize in the rac tourist trophy.
The zagato-bodied db4 gtwas among the most desirable of all aston martins, a thoroughbred equally at home on road and track. |
