The Aston Martin was a luxury high performance car which was also designed for relatively long distance trips, a car type often referred to as a "grand tourer". Ian Callum is currently the design director at Jaguar. The base of the Aston Martin DB7 is a variation of the base of the Jaguar XJS. A lot of parts and resources were supplied by Jaguar and financed by the Ford Motor Company, which was the parent company of Aston Martin. Ian Callum tweaked the design so it resembled   The Vantage was available in both six speed manual or five speed automatic transmissions, with the manual capable of higher speeds compared to its automatic counterpart. The automatic V12 was capable of an extra fifteen break horse power than the Vantage, and displayed some notable cosmetic changes.  V12 Zagato will have its debut racing challenge at Nürburgring race course later in May. This launch brings about great enthusiasm among care lovers because of Aston Martins' renewed collaboration with Zagato, one of the renowned Italian design team. This cooperation holds special significance at this time, because of this is the 50th anniversary year of Aston Martin's iconic DB4GT Zagato.

The Aston Martin and Zagato alliance has a glorious past that dates back to the 1960s, when they worked hand-in-hand for the legendary DB4GT Zagato. Aston Martins' search for a design house that can make the iconic DB4GT even more lighter and a higher performer ended up in finding Zagato. DB4GT Zagato got great acclaim from car enthusiasts at the London Motor Show in 1960 and the production of this exclusive car began in 1961. The Volante convertibles resembled the Coupes in body shape, but had a new grill cover and a non-vantage spec engine. Likewise, the V8 Vantage Zagato has got a reduced size with short chassis and rear seats absent and modified aluminum body from Italy. Their most recent collaboration was in 2002, when they unveiled the grand tourer, Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Zagato, in Paris Motor Show, which was a limited-edition with only 100 cars produced. To brief the specifications, the V12 Zagato Race Car has a coupe body with two doors and two seats. The aluminium body is hand crafted for better fit and finish. The V12 Zagato is fitted with a 5935 cc V12 engine. The V12 Zagato employs a six speed, rear mid mounted, automated manual gearbox. This features both auto shift manual and select shift manual with electric hydraulic control system. Aston Martin uses the unique magnesium alloy torque tube with carbon fibre propeller shaft for substantial weight reduction and twin plate competition clutch for easy drivability and hence further enhances the performance. This race car is mated with a 120 litre endurance racing fuel tank. Revivifying a collaboration, which has made classics from all their previous co-actions, which has produced the most sought-after and beautiful cars in the world, car enthusiasts count for yet another legend, the Aston Martin V12 Zagto.
