Not right |
Hotrod 17-2-2003 |
The Aston Martin line-up at the moment is incredible with the DB7 Vantage/GT and Vanquish. The new V8 vantage will only add to this. But I fear the DB7 Zagato is spoiling it all. If they could not afford to pay for crash-testing an all new Zagato design, they should have scrapped the project altogether. The front just looks like a normal DB7 with a rather ugly enlarged grill. Zagato has done the best it can with what was allowed on the rear. I too like the double-bubble, but it cannot save the car as a whole. It just looks wrong. I think it is an insult to the stunning DB4 GT Zagato of 1960. |
It's certainly distinctive |

"And a complete engineering marvel in my eyes, the ""double Bubble"" roof certainly seems to add the appeal to the car. The front is bland and the grille is dubious, but the back looks chic and very ""now"" in terms of styling. I think it is a feat to retain some of the Aston character without seeming like a badge engneered special. it does it i believe. BTW the wheels look like soemthing from a Hotwheels collection!""" |

Having looked for a long time at the front end of this car I only can say, and appreciating Zagato's effort to recall the previous AMZ's, that it is too big, although I am not enough of a stylist to precisely indicate which lines should change and how. The remainder of the car however is gorgeous, in particular the rear window, with its continuation of the double bubble. (Is this what DB stands for anyway in stead of David Brown?) |
