2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Live from the floor of the Frankfurt Auto Show, Aston Martin director of design Marek Reichman and product development director Ian Minards talk in detail about the V12 Zagato, its prototype history, and the design and engineering that go into it.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the V12 Zagato shares some of its construction and design methods with the stunning One-77. Only 150 of the special Zagato will be built, but considering its dual-purpose track/street configuration, it might be one of the most useful small-batch luxury sports cars ever built.
