Description of the original vehicle: Admittedly, it has taken CMC a long time to release its first British vintage sports car. By zeroing in on the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato -- one of the finest and most demanded classics -- we are convinced that this pick will meet the high expectations of customers.
The car was developed by Aston Martin in collaboration with Zagato, a Milan coachbuilder that was famous not only for customizing most stylish cars, but for its construction of extremely light-weight bodies.
Aston Martin had aspired to develop a racing car capable of challenging or out-performing the predominant Ferrari 250 GT SWB. But even with its weight-reduced body and a maximum output of 314 hp, the DB4 Zagato was unable to fulfill the dream. The cooperation between AM and Zagato drew to a conclusion in 1960 after a total of 19 units were produced.
What has remained are the AM Zagato cars, well-known for their beautiful design and sporty looks. They are also referred to as "Icons of automotive engineering". The original cars are sought after by collectors worldwide and traded for millions of Euros apiece.

Technical data of the original vehicle:

1. 6-cylinder in-line engine, mounted behind the front axle with two overhead cam shafts
2. Maximum output: 314 hp at 6,000 rpm
3. Displacement: 3,670 ccm
4. Compression ratio: 9.7 : 1
5. Top speed: approx. 246 km/hr
6. Bore x stroke: 92 x 92 mm
7. Wheel base: 2,363 mm
8. Track front: 1,372 mm
9. Track rear: 1,359 mm
