Aston Martins are among the most beautiful cars in the world. This model will leave you speechless after seeing it, for another reason

There are various aspects that over the years have ensured that Aston Martin could become one of the most coveted brands among supercars. The British giant has in fact demonstrated that it can create a series of top-notch vehicles, combining not only great power but also a truly enviable finish in detail.

Aston Martin which is becoming one of the main companies in the world of F1 also thanks to the hiring of world champions such as Sebastian Vettel, then replaced by Fernando Alonso. We are talking about two of the greatest drivers in the history of F1, whose presence contributed to the growth of the brand.

The Aston Martin furthermore, it has been the only one from 1997 to today that has been able to support Mercedes in the role of car Safety Car in F1. A role that seems to be secondary but, as Executive President Lawrence Stroll has repeatedly reiterated, when this enters the track, there is a boom in requests for the brand’s models.

Aston Martin V12 Zagato: mix with Chevrolet and Ferrari

One of the models that was among the most coveted in the house Aston Martin is the V12 Zagato. This is a car that was born to be limited edition with only 101 specimens and which shows itself with a length of 438 cm, a width of 186 cm and a height of 125 cm, which makes it weigh 1680 kg.

The engine inside is a gem, a 6000-displacement V12 that can deliver up to a maximum of 517 horsepower. In this way its peak speed is 305 km/h, which allows it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. Also for these reasons, the Zagato is one of the most sought-after Aston Martins among collectors.

In the USA it was thus decided to try to create a car that could in some way resemble it, even if it took hard work and many components from other cars. On Reddit we were able to notice this strange model which from the front looks like a V12 Zagato and which, on the front, features the headlights and the diffuser of the Ferrari 458.

This is perhaps the least problem, given that the real difference is what can be found inside the passenger compartment, given that they are taken from Chevrolet Malibu. A choice that divided the world of social media as soon as they admired this car, criticizing the fact of having united three major brands in a somewhat casual way.

Some wonder who decided to waste so much money on such a creation. A hybrid in every sense and, this time, without references to new generation engines. After all, the possibilities for customizing a car are endless and, sometimes, the most intrepid enthusiasts exaggerate with rather questionable results as in this case.
