The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato was a grand tourer sports car produced between 1960 and 1963. Introduced at the London Motor Show in October 1960, it was a DB4 GT lightened and improved by Zagato in Italy, with a body by Ercole Spada in aluminium and Perspex that shed about 150 pounds and dropped every non-essential element, including the bumpers. Aston Martin planned 25 cars but demand was weaker than hoped and production was cut to 19. Its 3.7 litre twin-spark straight-six produced 314 hp and the car could reach about 154 mph. Stirling Moss finished third on its racing debut at Goodwood in 1961, and the cars 1 VEV and 2 VEV later raced at Le Mans. Later Sanction II and Sanction III cars and a 2019 continuation series followed.
