Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato – Timeless and Fast

Posted September 11, 2012 9:00 AM by dstrohl

This perfect green Aston Martin was parked next to my Bizzarrini GT 5300 at the Presidio of San Francisco Concours d'Elegance in 2009. I have seen this car at other car shows in Northern California and I always stop and look every time. It is owned by a well-known California Aston Martin collector, a very nice gentleman.

The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato is one of the most recognizable cars in the world even though there were only 19 originally made. The body was styled by Ercole Spada at Zagato and is considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever. Zagato has quite a reputation to live up to with this design and they are trying with their recent design work for Aston Martin, BMW and others. The engine is an aluminum double overhead-camshaft 3,670cc straight-six producing 314 hp and the transmission is a four-speed manual, giving the car a 0 to 60 MPH acceleration of just 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 154 MPH.
