Famous coachbuilder and designer Zagato has released a one-off special edition Aston Martin Virage. Dubbed the Virage Shooting Brake Zagato, the bespoke vehicle was designed for an European buyer who was looking for something a bit more arty for his collection.

Virage Shooting Brake Zagato Reasoning

Zagato explains, ‘The Aston Martin Virage Shooting Brake Zagato represents a new, exclusive creation for Aston Martin’s limited range of elite models. It represents a point break in traditional modern Aston design that has characterized all Zagato cars since the introduction of the DB7. A modern interpretation with design cues of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Volante of the mid 80s, the new Shooting Brake Zagato creates surprise and fascination with a new shape while maintaining Zagato and Aston Martin’s core design values.’

This is the second Zagato to come out of the factory this year, the first being the Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato shown atConcorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este earlier this year.

The Virage Shooting Brake Zagato also ties in with Aston’s centenary and its special edition models that were developed during 2013.
