02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionroad-going production examples | 611,2Strongest evidence | Factory production | Disputed |
Sources differ: RM Sotheby's gives 61 road-going production examples, the Aston Martin Zagato owners' site says no more than 65 street cars were built (of 101 originally planned).
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Shown in 2011, the V12 Zagato raced in the Nürburgring 24 Hours that year, where the factory cars 'Zig' and 'Zag' finished fifth and sixth in the SP8 class. Limited road-car production began in 2012. It used the 5,935 cc DOHC V12 of 510 bhp with a six-speed manual transaxle and a quoted top speed of 190 mph.
