In 1960, an absolute masterpiece of the Milan Carrozzeria Zagato was created in an English-Italian collaboration: the Aston Martin DB 4 GT Zagato. 50 years later, the decision was made to launch a new creation for the anniversary: the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Zagato, which went into small series production almost exactly 12 years ago. A total of 101 units were produced at a sporty price of around 500,000 euros. But 510 bhp in an Italian dress were good arguments. One of these cars surprisingly crossed our path in Hamburg. The roof, hood and doors were handcrafted from aluminum, while the front and rear fenders, trunk lid and side sills are made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. Less weight is more. And if you look closely, you will even recognize the typical Zagato "double bubble" roof. Sprezzatura at its best!

Aston Martin One-77 (property — before being seized by Swiss authorities — of the son of the leader of one of the most corrupt governments in Central Africa)

In keeping with its tradition of producing limited edition, hand crafted exotica for the wealthy aficionado, best exemplified by the DB4 GT Zagato of the 1960s, Aston Martin previewed its proposed One-77 'hypercar' at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. 'The finished One-77 made its official debut in April 2009 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Ville d'Este, held on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, winning the 'Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes'. Designed by Marek Reichman, it was the fastest and most powerful Aston Martin ever built, with a top speed of 220mph, and also the most expensive, carrying a price tag of £1,150,000. Hailed by its maker as "possibly the world's most desirable automotive art form", the One-77 with its long bonnet and short tail was every inch the classically proportioned Gran Turismo, combing muscular pugnacity and feline grace in equal measure. A two-seater closed coupé, the One-77 featured advanced technology in the form of an immensely rigid and lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis, which carried a seamless body traditionally handcrafted in aluminium. Made from a single sheet of aluminium, each front wing was said to take one craftsman three weeks to produce. Other state-of-the-art features included bi-xenon headlamps with integrated LED side lights and direction indicators, LED rear lamps (fog and reverse), carbon fibre front splitters, carbon fibre rear diffuser, and active aerodynamics with deployable spoiler. Providing the horsepower needed to breach the magic 200mph barrier was a stretched (to 7.3 litres) version of Aston Martin's existing 48-valve V12 engine. Extensively reworked by Cosworth Engineering, it produced 750bhp and 553lb/ft of torque, and was the world's most powerful normally aspirated road-car engine at the time of the One-77's introduction. Cosworth's extensive re-engineering included fitting dry-sump lubrication, which enabled the V12 to be carried 100mm lower in the One-77's chassis than in that of the DB9. Like the V8 in the One-77's Vantage sister car, the V12 engine was mounted towards the centre of the chassis, well aft of the front axle line in the interests of optimum weight distribution, to which end the six-speed automatic/manual transmission was located at the rear in the form of an integrated transaxle. Power was transmitted to the limited-slip differential by a carbon fibre prop shaft encased in a magnesium alloy torque tube, reaching the road surface via 20" forged alloy wheels - 7-spoke or 10-spoke - shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

Unusually for a road car, the One-77's all-independent suspension featured pushrod actuation of the adjustable mono-tube dampers, a system more commonly found in modern competition cars. There were double wishbones at all four corners: the front incorporating anti-dive geometry, and the rear anti-squat and anti-lift. The suspension was also electrically adjustable for both ride height and rate change.

The rack and pinion was power assisted, delivering 3.0 turns lock-to-lock, while the steering column was adjustable for both tilt and reach. Braking was supplied by carbon ceramic discs all round, gripped by six-piston callipers at the front, four-piston callipers at the rear. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), and traction control were all incorporated in the interests of controllability and safety. Releasing the driver's door, which swings out and arcs upwards, the One-77's fortunate owner would be confronted by a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel, electrically adjustable lightweight memory seats, and dual-stage driver/passenger front airbags. Other interior features included automatic temperature control, a trip computer, and touch-sensitive map-reading LED lights. Powerfold exterior memory mirrors came as standard, while front/rear parking cameras were an option. Number '35' of the 77 built, this EU model has a legend engraved on the door sill stating that it was 'Hand built in England for Theodore N'Guema Obiang Mangue'. Finished in red with red-piped cream interior, the car is offered with Equatorial Guinea registration papers.

DRAGONBOX DB4 UPGRADE

– Derek Ginger, Master Detailer, UF Detailing Studio As the paintwork was really soft I didn’t want to risk incurring any additional marks, so I needed a product that would dissolve the evaporates without having to physically touch them. Watermarks can be tricky to get rid of especially when they contain fallout which is quite abrasive to paintwork if you try to remove it with a wash mitt. On the way back the car had (unusually!) been driven in the rain and the paintwork was covered in fallout and the inevitable resulting watermarks. Given the length of time the car had been away the flat black paintwork was starting to look quite dull. Also the paintwork is incredibly soft, so the slightest contact would have put swirls and fine scratches into it. Whenever a car is worked on, there is always going to be the possibility that the paintwork inadvertently gets marked, particularly so in this case as the bumpers had been removed. Some months later when RS Williams had completed the transformation the car was returned to UF’s Brands Hatch based Detailing Studio for evaluation and final finishing. For the purists out there it is worth noting that this can be reversed back to the standard 3.7 litres at any time. The front and rear bumpers were both removed and an oil cooler scoop as featured on the later DB4 and DB4 GT was fitted to complete the new look.

DRAGONBOX DB4 UPGRADE

Williams Director, Neil Thompson, it was decided to completely rebuild the original 3.7 litre two carburettor engine and gearbox and upgrade it to ‘Special Series’ Vantage specification with 3 carburettors, higher compression and a whopping 4.7 litres capacity. In 1990 the business moved to the current location and continues to be regarded as one of the leading engineering companies specialising in all things Aston Martin.Īfter discussing the possibilities with R.S. For the years that followed the company enjoyed major success servicing, selling and racing all types of Aston Martin. Based in Cobham, Surrey, Richard Stewart Williams Limited was started by Richard Williams in 1968 shortly after he left Aston Martin. Williams to discuss some very exciting upgrades. After driving the car for many enjoyable miles, the owner decided he would visit world renowned Aston Martin heritage specialists R.S. In February of 2014 UF wrote an article about Paintwork Correction work carried out on a show-stopping black Aston Martin DB4.
