The Original: The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato is an iconic car developed in the early 1960s. This model, based on the Aston Martin DB4, was first introduced in 1960 and is an outstanding example of engineering and design. The renowned Italian bodybuilder Carrozzeria Zagato, founded in 1919 in Milan, was responsible for the design. This generation's design was by the famous designer Ercole Spada, whose signature is clearly visible in the aerodynamic and elegant design of the car. The significance of this car in automotive history is underscored by the fact that there are only 19 of these special editions. Technically, the DB4 GT Zagato impresses with a 3.7-liter inline-six engine producing around 314 horsepower – impressive for its time.
About the Miniature of the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
The miniature made by CMC in a 1/18 scale is an exact replica of this legendary vehicle. Every detail, such as the distinctive front end with the striking grille and the curved lines of the car's rear, has been carefully replicated. It is a die-cast model, meaning the base structure is made of die-cast metal, giving it additional stability and weight. The shiny red paint, as seen in your collection piece "BenzW110," captures the essence of the original and gives it an impressive visual presence. The quality and precision of the model construction are remarkable, making this miniature a valuable addition to any collection.
Special Features and Technical Know-How
The original Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato was not only a masterpiece of technology but also featured numerous technical aspects that made it a trailblazer of its time. Highlights include the twin-plug ignition for more efficient combustion and the modified carburetors that optimized fuel flow and thus performance. The car boasts a complete aluminum body, significantly reducing weight while enhancing speed and agility. The chassis was reinforced to withstand the higher stresses generated by the immense power of the engine. In the early 1960s, significant political and cultural events took place – for example, 1960 was the year John F. Kennedy became President of the United States and Elvis Presley's song "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" dominated the charts.
