Unveiled at the Audrain Newport Concours in October 2019, the DBZ Centenary Collection celebrated Aston Martin and Zagato’s partnership by offering two cars as a pair: a track-only DB4 GT Zagato Continuation and a modern DBS Superleggera–based DBS GT Zagato, priced together at over $6 million. All 19 sets sold quickly, with buyers receiving the DB4 GT Zagato first after Aston Martin’s Heritage Division devoted 4,500 hours to each build.
Now available through Sotheby’s Motorsport, this DBS GT Zagato is Car #1—the prototype that set the standard for the 19-car production run. Unlike the others, it is the only example finished in fully exposed gloss carbon fiber, a detail that sets it apart from the painted models. Originally sold as part of the $6 million DBZ Centenary Collection, it was paired with a DB4 GT Zagato Continuation car, marking the pinnacle of Aston Martin and Zagato’s six-decade partnership.
Built on the DBS Superleggera platform, it features a 5.2L twin-turbo V12 engine producing approximately 760 hp, enabling a 0–60 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 210 mph. Its design showcases Zagato hallmarks: the double-bubble roof, wraparound windshield, muscular haunches, and a distinctive grille inspired by the DB4 GT Zagato.
With just 881 miles, the car remains in near-new condition, protected by paint protection film across its carbon fiber body. Additional exterior features includes satin black wheels, black calipers, gloss carbon mirrors, and both black and original silver grilles. Inside, the cabin is finished in Obsidian Black leather with matching stitching, featuring heavyweight carpets and a carbon-fiber/leather steering wheel. The interior is complemented by a Bang & Olufsen audio system and 3D-printed carbon trim.
