Enthusiasts who missed their opportunity to buy the limited-edition Aston Martin V12 Zagato released in 2012 are in luck. British manufacturer R-Reforged received permission from both brands to construct 38 more cars, split evenly between coupes and convertibles, and it has just completed the first prototypes in its Warwick, England, facility.
Fittingly, the very first pair was ordered by Andrea and Marella Zagato, and it’s going to the coachbuilder’s private collection. The roadster is completed in a darker shade of gold, as the coupe is painted silver, and every color turns up again around the center console. Both cars ride on a single center-locking 19-inch wheels, plus they receive a plaque within the engine bay that certifies these were built especially for Mr. and Mrs. Zagato.
R-Reforged didn’t accept copying and pasting the initial blueprints. It made small but significant changes towards the cars, including giving the leading end a new-look splitter and redesigned fenders. Zagato’s signature double-bubble roof remains, however the tail gains active aerodynamic components that keep your car planted on the ground at autobahn speeds without altering its lines. Carbon fibre body panels help offset the system’s weight.
Power still develops from a 5.9-liter V12, however it continues to be tuned to develop 600 horsepower, an 80-horse increase within the original V12 Zagato. Suspension and chassis modifications result in the car lower and wider, too.
Just 19 pairs is going to be built-in the approaching months, and pricing for the duo starts at $2.2 million. Twelve workers make each car manually, so building one occupies to 16 weeks. R-Reforged told Autoblog you may still find some build slots left, however the catch would be that the coupe and also the convertible are exclusively sold like a pair, that is great news for those who buy supercars like they buy flip-flops. After that, anything can be done. Buyers can request that both cars be built to the very same specifications, or they are able to work with the look team to personalize each one of these.
