StarLight Garage presents the other Aston by Zagato one-off ... the Aston Martin DB9 Zagato Spyder Centennial from 2013.
Another gem by Zagato.
Zagato Atelier pays tribute to Aston Martin's 100th Anniversary with the announcement of two very special projects: the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial, conceived for the well known American car collector Peter Read and the DBS Coupé Zagato Centennial, delivered to a young and prestigious Japanese entrepreneur.
The history began in 2001 when Dr. Ulrich Bez approved a design for the DB7 Zagato, which was inspired and financed by the Zagato team, comprising of Andrea and Marella Zagato and Peter Read, a long time enthusiast and collector of Aston Martins.
Due to the success of the DB7 Zagato (all 99 units were sold at the Paris Motor Show prior to production) and with the approval and collaboration of Aston Martin, the same team designed, developed and produced a one-off DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial. This creation honours the heritage, power and elegance of Aston Martin's Centenary.
The team's vision is best expressed by Peter Read; "The DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial perfectly merges Aston Martin and Zagato's DNA by combining the elegance of design, typical of Zagato, with the soul, power and prestige of Aston Martin, all developed over the last 100 years. This car personifies the timelessness of the Aston Martin/Zagato marque."
