This is the Zagato-Modified Aston Martin DB4. This is by far one of the sexiest cars in the world. The later models had a power tweak and achieved about 160mph. A feat in 1969.
Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO (???) of Aston Martin said it is one of the most beautiful Astons in the world. Damn right Dr Bez. Dr Bez also drove the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24 around the 'Ring in the 24 Hour series.

Holy hell. I never knew about the DB4 Zagato, but jesus it's beautiful. It looks a bit like a 250 GTO, only more Elegant.

The picture of the N24 doesn't work, but I suppose it's that yellow race car.

I knew about this car, but considering Aston Martins' relationship and heritage with James Bond, I'm pretty surprised it wasn't in any of the Bond movies.

It's classy, sleek, sexy and perfect for Bond.

...I think I've heard of it before! Didn't they make a race car version? Apparently a roadster. There were made like 1-5 of them, and one of them was totalled during Mile Miglia... 2002, I think.

I think there is possibly only me in the world who doesn't find the DB4 zagato beautiful. To me, it just doesn't look proportioned. The back looks a little long, the front air inlet just looks a little sloppy, and the fender seems to hop a little high. Maybes just me, but Astons should just remain sharp.

are you blind??!?!?!?!

astons are flowing and muscular but can bring together sharpness and flow and muscles into it
only recently have they put them all together.
but before you argue the db4-5 war more of an aston than any modern ones will be.
for gods sake just looks at it......

Astons have never been muscular:
I'd say Astons are sensual, or sexy... just not muscular.

I agree, sort of. I don't like it because I think it looks much too swollen. Like, if a DB5 got a bee sting, this is what it'd look like.

Maybe it's the colour. I see what you mean though, but a DB5, IMO, wouldn't look as good as it was in silver. If it was painted flourescent green it wouldn't look as good.

If there's a Zagato in silver maybe it would be better.

I also think I'm with you here. I find that the front looks like its sagging and the whole shape does nothing for me. Now I like sensual looking cars with lots of curves a lot normally but this one does nothing for me, I prefer the standard DB4.
