It’s difficult to imagine a world where car brands join forces with the aim of helping one sell more vehicles. The automotive world is a tough one, with each manufacturer attempting to outdo their rivals, creating a never-ending race to be the fastest, most fuel efficient, safest or, in some cases, wildest. Sure, we’ve seen cars like the latest generation Toyota GR Supra borrow its main ingredients from the BMW Z4, but if we spin the clocks back 20 years and beyond, it was slightly more common to see two powerhouses come together to create greatness.
It’s hard to believe it, but since being founded in Milan back in 1919, Zagato has been responsible for over 440 different creations, including coupes, speedsters, racers, spiders and shooting brakes, all of which ooze style and presence with desirability beyond belief. Despite being involved with Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini and Ferrari to name just a handful, we’d argue marque pairs better with Zagato bodywork than Aston Martin.
