Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

Production: 1960-1963

​

The first car designed by Ercole Spada from Zagato, the DB4 GT Zagato is a lighten and improved version of the DB4 GT. 19 examples of 25 were produced before production ceased due to low demand. But in 1988, Aston Martin gave approval to make 4 more GT Zagatos using unused DB4 chassis and a more powerful 4.2L engine making the Sanction II which were completed in 1991. A year later, 2 more Zagatos under the Sanction III name was approved and completed in 2000.

The most beautiful car ever made... I need to multi like this one!

@gtpanoz, You've listed the production as 1960-1963, so I'd assume that you were just nominating the original cars and not the Sanction II and Sanction III models, personally.

Also, black isn't the GTZs colour. Please post a green one.

Well I can't ignore the 6 Sanction cars given that Aston themselves gave the go ahead for them to be built. Given it is hard to tell between a original and a sanction model without opening the hood.

Also, black isn't the GTZs colour. Please post a green one.

Right color I hope?

 

[Roger the Horse]

You might want to add the later production dates to the nomination then, I guess.

 

[Jahgee]

Man, you guys are lucky this is one of the fridays where I can update OP's , what prompted all these nominations ?

A continuing urge to get the Miura a companion by delving further into history?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Maybe it was the fact that the SR-71 didn't make it out of the Ice Box on my wall. I can kinda see how that'd give people

A continuing urge to get the Miura a companion by delving further into history?

Personally, I'm sceptical as to whether anything else will ever manage it.

 

[Dagger311]

When my car goes up Monday, I'm going to send the PT cruiser to hell.

 

[Jahgee]

Alrighty, rule proposal. Which would you as a community prefer? This is going to be an ongoing poll so whichever option gets in the lead, will be the one used. Which would you rather have for nominations-

A. 6 Guarenteed Posts a week, hopefully on Sunday-Friday, with Saturday off.

Or-

B. 4 guarenteed posts a week, with 2 posts a day on days where I'm available. There will be at least 2 days there will be a post.

Like whichever post has the option you prefer, next week I will use that method. Every Sunday, I will recount the votes, and declare which option will be used that week, before making either the 1 or 2 Cool Wall posts that day.

Note, Option B guarantees less than Option A, but I could be able to post every day, which would lead to 12 cars being nominated.

You can vote for both options if you don't care.

 

[JMoney]

It seems like there is less room for debate when we get two cars a day, and then whenever there is a debate and there isn't a car posted the next day, the debate usually winds up off-topic or repetitive. One post a day for 6 days sounds good to me because it can be a routine.

 

[Jahgee]

Alright, so it looks like Option B (The less stressful one for me IMO too ) won, so expect 2 today, and at least 2 more this week.

Thank you guys, now I don't have to stress out between doing this (Which takes around an hour or so between updating OPs, updating spreadsheets & posting threads).

Engine: 1.5L I4
Transmission: Either a 4-speed auto or a 5-speed manual, I'm not sure.
Body Style: 4-door sedan
Drivetrain: FF?

Hood scoop is non-functional.

 

[Roger the Horse]

I'm fairly certain that that's already been nominated.

 

[Dagger311]

I checked the list, it wasn't there.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I'm fairly certain that that's already been nominated.

It hasn't, but I've posted it in this thread before.

 

[McLaren]

And he made a joke about it....

 

[GranTurismo916]

And he made a joke about it....

Actually, I asked him to nominate it.

 

[Adamgp]

My nomination is on deck to be posted, nice.

Soon I can nominate my next WTF car.

 

[Jahgee]

Gonna need a definate on the Drivetrain, Transmission and Years Produced before I can accept it as a nomination.

 

[Dagger311]

@GT916 any help?

 

[Sage Ages]

Google is your friend.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I'm not sure on the tranny, there's no confirmation (I can only narrow it down to either the 4 or 5-speed). I know it was made from 2003-2005 and it's FF though.

EDIT: Also, it actually makes 95 hp, not 166 hp.

 

[Sage Ages]

EDIT: Also, it actually makes 95 hp, not 166 hp.

I knew something wasn't right about it. There aren't too many cars making 110hp/l.

1997-1998 Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car

From Wikipedia: The Nissan R390 GT1 was a mid-engined racing car built in Atsugi, Japan. It was designed primarily for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997 and 1998. It was built to race under the grand tourer style rules, requiring a homologated road version to be built. Therefore, the R390 was built originally as production road car, then a racing version of the car was developed after. Only two R390 road cars were ever built- One was sold through a private auction, without any record, and the other one is stored at Nissan's Zama facility. The road car was capable of 220 mph, which initially surpassed the Jag XJ220 and RUF CTR2 in 1997, but was shortly superseded by the McLaren F1's 241 mph record in 1998.

The McLaren F1 was doing 370 long before 1998.

 

[Jahgee]

Please include HP in your nomination.

 

[Clark]

The McLaren F1 was doing 370 long before 1998.

No it wasn't, the 241mph record it set (with a higher rev-limiter) was set in 1998.

 

[Roger the Horse]

And it was recording doing 230 or so at Nardo in the early nineties. The Ehra-Lessien run came later.
