Why it matters
The Vanquish Zagato Roadster was a one-off convertible Vanquish built by Zagato for the 2004 Geneva Salon. It showed an open Vanquish a decade before Aston Martin offered a convertible itself, and it continued the Zagato partnership that began with the DB4 GT.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionUnits produced: 1 ("no further examples were made") | 11 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Zagato unveiled the car at the 74th Geneva Salon in 2004. Zagato chief designer Nori Harada and Aston Martin design manager Peter Hutchison reworked a former testbed Vanquish coupe into an open car. It was wind-tunnel tested for a buffet-free cabin and was shown with an integrated hardtop for winter and a double-bubble glass-and-cloth cover for summer. Journalists who drove it were positive, but Aston Martin told them it had too many other projects to put an open Vanquish into production. Zagato kept showing the car, including at the 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
