Zagato had forged it's not inconsiderable reputation by building a succession of lightweight aerodynamic sports and GT cars, most notable on Alfa Romeo and Lancia chassis, so its choice as partner for the development of the somewhat more utilitarian shooting brake concept may seem surprising at first. In fact, the Shooting Brake was just one of four new Zagato-styled models to be built on the V12 Vanquish platform, the others being a Speedster, a Coupé, and a Volante. The planned production was for 99 Coupés, 99 Volantes, 28 Speedsters, and 99 Shooting Brakes, making 325 cars in all. All four designs are the result of close creative collaboration between Aston Martin and Zagato. First member of the family, the Vanquish Zagato Coupé had commenced production in late 2016. Next in line was the Vanquish Zagato Volante, the announcement of which on 15th August 2017 in Carmel, California, USA marked another milestone in what is recognised as one of the most enduring creative partnerships in the global automotive industry. At the same time it was confirmed that not only would a Vanquish Zagato Speedster enter production but that it would be joined by a spectacular Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake. Tantalisingly, the Shooting Brake was illustrated in a press photograph mostly covered, and it was not until October 2017 that images showing the entire car were made available. Even before the Shooting Brake was officially announced, all 99 had been pre-sold. With all four designs based upon the Vanquish S, each Zagato enjoys the combination of 600PS naturally-aspirated V12 engine mated to the smooth, slick-shifting Touchtronic III transmission. Boasting adaptive suspension damping – fine-tuned for each model - the Vanquish Zagato family promises exceptional driving pleasure that is every bit as stimulating and memorable as their design. The Speedster and Shooting Brake represent the two extremes of the Vanquish Zagato family, the former being an uncompromising roofless design that expresses the raw excitement of an open-top ultra-high performance sports car. The Shooting Brake is still a strict two-seater, but one conceived as an individual and exceptionally practical Gran Turismo. Its extended roof features the iconic Zagato 'double-bubble' profile complete with glass inlays to let light flood into the cockpit. The sculptural roof culminates in a powered tailgate that opens onto a luxuriously trimmed rear cabin area, complete with a tailored luggage set. Up front the dramatic herringbone carbon fiber fascia features anodized bronze rotary controls, extensive 'Z' motif quilting, and the option of fully aniline leather upholstery. Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, said of the Vanquish Zagato family: 'We haven't released Zagato models as a family before, at least not in this way, but the idea is not without precedent. Think back to the DB7 Zagato and DB AR1, or the V8 Zagato Coupé and Volante, for example. We've simply taken things a few steps further. Why create a family of Zagatos? Well, many of our customers want different things. Some prefer the purity of a Coupé, but others love the idea of something more extreme, like the Speedster. And yes, some of them have ordered one example of each. There's always an over demand from our clients and patrons. We could easily ful
