Aston Martin
DBS Coupé Zagato Centennial

Why it matters

A one-off Zagato rebody of the DBS, built in 2013 for a Japanese collector as part of the Zagato Centennial trilogy. It keeps the standard car's V12 and running gear under entirely new bodywork.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Aston Martin and Zagato marked the centenary year with a coupe, a roadster and later a shooting brake. The DBS version was commissioned by a Japanese collector and was neither a conventional factory project nor a series car. It retained the 5.9-litre V12 and running gear of the production DBS and received new Zagato bodywork including the double-bubble roof and a much more abrupt tail.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

Identify it by the completely new Zagato body on the DBS mechanical base: double-bubble roof and a markedly more abrupt tail. Only one was built.
