Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake
The Aston Martin Vanquish Shooting Brake by Zagato.
Vehicle Overview
The Aston Martin Zagato Shooting Brake is a remarkable embodiment of the enduring partnership between Aston Martin and the Italian design house Carrozzeria Zagato. This exclusive model follows the Vanquish Zagato Coupe’s debut at the 2016 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, and it is the fourth and most innovative variant in the Vanquish Zagato lineup. Alongside the Coupe, Volante, and Speedster, the Shooting Brake completes a family of four distinct body styles, each celebrating the storied collaboration that dates back to the early 1960s. The concept for the Shooting Brake was inspired by a 2014 display at the Chantilly Concours d’Elegance, where a Shooting Brake version of the Aston Martin Virage was shown. The Shooting Brake has since become a new and audacious statement of the Aston Martin-Zagato connection, introducing an extreme design element to the lineup. Built on the V-12 Vanquish S platform, the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake features a 580 hp naturally aspirated V-12 engine coupled with an eight-speed Touchtronic III transmission. Each variant in the Vanquish Zagato range, including the Shooting Brake, benefits from adaptive suspension damping tailored to its specific body style, ensuring an exceptional driving experience. The production run was limited to 99 Coupes, 99 Volantes, 28 Speedsters, and 99 Shooting Brakes, with the Virage Shooting Brake distinguished as the most avant-garde design among them. The Shooting Brake body style, originating in the 1890s, was initially used for horse-drawn carriages and later became favored by English aristocrats for its practicality. It reemerged on motorcars in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1960s, with Radford creating Shooting Brake versions of the Aston Martin DB6. For the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, the design features the iconic Zagato ‘double-bubble’ roof with glass inlays, inspired by aircraft cockpits. The carbon fiber coachwork is crafted with large panels and minimal split lines, creating a sleek, flowing design as if sculpted from a single piece. A powered tailgate opens to reveal a luxuriously trimmed rear cabin, enhancing the Shooting Brake’s distinctive and innovative character.
