Marking the 50th anniversary of the 1961 DB4, Aston Martin will be making only 150 of the much-anticipated V12 Zagato in 2012. The legendary Italian coachbuilder Zagato has gone to astonishing lengths to shape the awe-inspiring body. Each segment has been hand moulded from sheet alloy using a tool called an English wheel, old school wooden bucks, different shapes, sizes and weighted hammers, and not to mention hours of painstaking labour - using regular sculpting machines apparently wasn’t an option! Each panel is grafted from several sections; the front wings alone are constructed in seven pieces! And regarding its power? It’s 6.0-litre V12 produces a breathtaking 510bhp and 420lb ft of torque.
