The DB4 GT Zagato is one of the rarest and most valuable Aston Martins ever made. It, alongside the standard DB4, was produced in the early 1960s and is the predecessor to the iconic DB5. Many of you will recognize the DB5 from the James Bond movies "Goldfinger" and "Skyfall." Back to the DB4 GT Zagato, it is motivated by a 3.67-liter inline-six with 314 horsepower and 240 foot-pounds of torque, paired to a four-speed stick shift. It runs from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, onto a top speed of 153 mph. Only 19 examples of the coachbuilt Zagato version were produced. I am not fond of some of the vehicles designed by Zagato, but the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato is an absolute stunner. I have no idea how this classic Aston drives, but it would not surprise me if most of these are either in a museum or locked away in a garage only to sit and appreciate. I kind of have a problem with this because cars are meant to be driven, whether it be on a twisty mountain road or a racetrack, and a valuable classic like the DB4 GT Zagato is no different. Pictured below is the standard Aston Martin DB4 GT.
