The Aston Martin V12 Zagato.

Aston Martin has announced the road-going variant of the V12 Zagato which will be making its public debut at the Frankfurt motor show next month.  The luxury British automaker will be bringing two exemplars of the V12 Zagato, based on the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, to the show – one named Zig and the other Zag.  The car is powered by Aston’s 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque.  Zig, is painted in green racing livery and is in full racing spec, with an aerodynamic package including front splitter, dive planes, a large rear diffuser and a spoiler.  The second car, nicknamed Zag, was the piece originally shown at the Villa d’Este event before being converted to run at the 24-hour race.  The Aston Martin V12 Zagato will be produced in a limited run of just 150 cars in summer 2012, each priced at a whopping £330,000 (not including local taxes).  Aston Martin will also present at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month the One-77 supercar and the recently launched Virage and the Vantage S.
