The Aston Martin DB4 GT was a lightened, higher-performance version of the DB4 grand tourer, built by the British maker Aston Martin from 1959 to 1963 in 75 examples. Compared with the car it came from it had thinner aluminium body panels, faired-in headlamps that were later carried over to the DB5, a shortened wheelbase that left many cars without rear seats, and no bumpers. A 136 litre fuel tank and the spare wheel sat in the luggage compartment because the car was designed for endurance racing. Its petrol engine came in two capacities, 3,670 and 3,750 cc, with two spark plugs per cylinder, twin overhead camshafts, three Weber carburettors and a 9 to 1 compression ratio, giving 302 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. A further 19 cars were rebodied by Zagato as the DB4 GT Zagato, and one by Bertone as the Bertone Jet. The prototype won at Silverstone with Stirling Moss in 1959, and the car raced at Le Mans that year.
