From A to Z in four steps – that being
Aston Martin and
Zagato, connected by carbon fiber links known as the
Vanquish Zagato Coupe, Volante, Speedster, and the now-official Shooting Brake. When the automaker
revealed the Zagato Speedster at
Pebble Beach in August, the Shooting Brake remained a sketch. Today we get honest, photographic proof of what 99 future owners will soon park in their climate-controlled display spaces.


Were it not for the
objet d’art reverence paid to a Zagato and the bitsy production run, we’d expect to see the shooting brake frolicking through expensive enclaves just as often as a
Ferrari GT4 Lusso. Aston Martin’s 580-horsepower V12 provides useful intent up front, a “luxuriously trimmed rear cabin area with tailored luggage” carries its weight in back. In between, driver and passenger revel in a herringbone carbon fiber fascia, anodized bronze dials, quilted leather, and glass-inlay for the double-bubble roof inviting lots of light.


The Shooting Brake goes into production next year, alongside the Speedster. As with the first three
bijoux, every Shooting Brake has already found a home. When Aston Martin hands the last set of keys to the final buyer, these 325 special editions will mark the close of another chapter in an Anglo-Italian cooperation begun with the 1960 DB4 Zagato.
