I know the LA Auto Show premiered almost a month ago (I was actually in LA at the time but didn’t have a chance to go to the show), but I just had to post about three concept cars that debuted there: the Scion FR-S, the Kia GT, and the Aston Martin One-77.
The Zagato is a new car by Aston Martin to supposedly be released later this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This new Zagato really does look nice, but only 150 will be made. Not surprising since the car will cost nearly $600,000. A few specs include a V12 engine and a 0-62 mph time of 4.2 seconds.
I first saw the Zagato a while ago on Top Gear (UK version, of course), but since then I’ve been trying to decide if I like it. You might ask what is there to not like about an Aston Martin. Well, I’m not too crazy about the design of the rear of the car. It just strikes me as a little strange.
Here are some concept renderings:

Just a quick post to mention Aston Martin’s new car, the Virage. I saw it mentioned on Top Gear (UK version [the best version]), and I decided to check it out. Aston Martin only announced it last month (it’s a revival of an older model, though), and it’s quite a beautiful car. The Virage will have a 6.0-liter V12 engine, and a top speed is 186mph, with 0-62mph acceleration in 4.6 seconds. If only I could afford it.
