Spot the difference

Just a few weeks after the first of the 19 DB4GT Zagato continuations made its public debut at Le Mans, Aston Martin has released renders of the modern DBS GT Zagato. Just 19 of the extravagant Grand Tourers will be built and sold together with the aforementioned DB4s as the DBZ Centenary Collection. We can’t help but feel like had we forked out the staggering £6m list price for the pair of Anglo-Italo Astons, we’d be a touch disappointed with how similar the new DBS looks to its Vanquish-based Zagato predecessors. The coolest feature is probably the ‘dynamic’ front grille. It comprises 108 individual diamond-shaped carbon-fibre pieces that sit flush with the bodywork while the car is switched off but open when it’s fired up in order to allow the V12 engine to breathe.
