The Original Legend: The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato was produced from 1960 to 1963 and is a masterpiece of British and Italian engineering. The first generation, built in the 60s, took the Aston Martin DB4 GT as a base and further developed it in collaboration with the renowned Italian body builder Zagato. Designer Ercole Spada and Chief Engineer Harold Beach played a central role in creating this elegant yet powerful vehicle.
Technical Data and Features of the Original
The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato is equipped with a 3.7-liter inline-six engine that delivers around 314 horsepower. This impressive power was enough to accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in about 6.1 seconds. The "Superleggera" construction used by Zagato contributed to a significant weight reduction, making the DB4 GT Zagato extremely agile on both the road and the racetrack. Interestingly, 1960 was also the year John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States, underscoring the era in which this automotive icon was born. Additionally, the Beatles' song "Love Me Do" was released the same year, a milestone in music history.
