2013 Aston Martin V12 Zagato - 1 of 18 RHD Spec

OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2013 Aston Martin V12 Zagato showing just 5,900 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Diavolo Red over an Obsidian Black leather cabin, this ultra-rare Zagato masterpiece is 1 of just 18 built to RHD spec.

Aston Martin and Milanese carrozzeria Zagato have a long and storied history, one that celebrated 50 years of collaboration in the form of the gorgeous V12-powered coupe you see here. Introduced in 2011 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Lake Como, Italy, the V12 Zagato was promptly awarded the Concorso d'Eleganza trophy.

It would then go on to place 5th and 6th in its class at the grueling 24 Hours of Nürburgring before going into ultra-limited street-legal production. The result is Zagato at its best. Hand-formed aluminum and carbon fiber panels accentuate the signature rounded front end, “double-bubble” roof, and dual taillamp pods. 

Look closer to enjoy the complex interlocking “Z” logo front grille. Take in the short overhangs and carbon fiber detailing. This 2013 V12 Zagato is art on four wheels that also happens to be powered by a naturally aspirated 510-hp 6.0L V12 hooked up to the enthusiast-favorite 6-speed manual. 

NOTABLE COMMENTARY

• “Threading the needle between artistic brilliance and blistering power, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage was already an impressive car in its standard guise, but when Zagato got their hands on it, the real magic started.” - Classic Driver

• “It is the sort of glorious, emotionally resonant noise that would make even the most shy and retiring person want to change down and blip the throttle gratuitously over and over again.” - Evo

• “There’s a physicality to the driving experience, too, which is something that’s been lost by the latest breed of easy-to-use supercars…” - Auto Express
