**The Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato: A Masterpiece of Italian Design**

As I stepped inside the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato, I was immediately struck by its sheer presence. The interior is a work of art, with the Zagato stitching that I had seen earlier adding a touch of elegance to the cabin. The seats are upholstered in leather, which feels luxurious to the touch, and the dashboard is adorned with all sorts of clever little touches, such as the Martin seat controls on the center column.

**The Dashboard: A Symphony of Controls**

On the center console, I found a number of displays and controls that allowed me to adjust the air conditioning and climate control to my liking. There's also a slot for the emotional control unit, which I assume is used to regulate the temperature and other settings in the cabin. The dashboard is also equipped with a range of buttons and levers, including controls for the gearbox, brakes, and suspension.

**The Gearbox: A marvel of Engineering**

As I explored the dashboard further, I noticed that the gearbox was quite impressive. The column-mounted paddle shifters are a nice touch, although they could be slightly larger in terms of size and feel. However, they do make the shifting process seamless and intuitive. The gearbox itself is very good, and I was impressed by its performance.

**The Media Infotainment System**

On the center console, there's a range of controls for the media infotainment system, including settings for the display screen. The screen itself is a beautiful fold-up display that shows off all sorts of information, from the power meter to the warning messages about track use only. I was impressed by its clarity and responsiveness.

**The Armrest: A Practical Touch**

In the armrest, I found a nice little cubby hole for storing small items, such as my phone or keys. There's also a USB port and other storage slots, making it easy to keep the cabin organized. The ashtray is another nice touch, although I must admit that I don't smoke.

**Rear Visibility: A Challenge**

One of the challenges of driving the Vanquish Zagato is its rear visibility. The tiny little slit for the rear window doesn't offer much of a view, and it's not ideal when trying to navigate tight spaces or park in low-angle spots. However, if you turn your head around, you do get a glimpse of the carbon fiber trim on the window, which is quite nice.

**The Fly-Off Handbrake: A Clever Touch**

On the driver's side, I found a fly-off handbrake that allows you to take off and put down the parking brake with ease. This feature is particularly useful when driving in tight spaces or navigating narrow streets.

**Launch Control and Traction Control**

As I explored the dashboard further, I noticed a range of controls for launch control and traction control. The pen-like device on the dashboard is a nice touch, and it's interesting to see how it works. It's another example of the attention to detail that Zagato has brought to this car.

**Stepping Out: A Moment of Reflection**

As I stepped out of the Vanquish Zagato for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at its sheer presence. The sun was shining down on it, highlighting the metallic flake paintwork and the satin silver wheels. It's truly a work of art, and I felt privileged to have had the chance to see it up close.

**Conclusion**

The Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato is one of only 99 cars in the world, and it's clear that every detail has been carefully considered and executed. From the dashboard controls to the armrest storage slots, every aspect of this car has been designed with the driver in mind. Whether you're a seasoned car enthusiast or just someone who appreciates beauty and craftsmanship, the Vanquish Zagato is definitely worth experiencing for yourself.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys I'm shme and today we are going to take a look at one of the most beautiful cars in the world I'm going to take you on a walk around and then a test drive in the Aston Martin Vanquish zagato it is one of just 99 of these in the world of the coupe there are also 99 roadsters but it's a big thanks to the owner of this car for allowing me to come down today and show you the car inside and out out and let me go for an experience taking this out onto some rather nice roads here in Germany so we're going to take a look around it it's kind of interesting to me of course as a Vanquish owner what the zagato version is all about so let's get started with a little bit of a walk around and take it in because outside of I think the 177 this is probably the most beautiful car to me that exists it is stunning in terms of how it's designed the regular Vanquish is already beautiful and zagato bring into this their sort of distinct um features and highlights the double bubble roof that I'll show you in a moment but basically have made the Vanquish look even more just rounded and stunning in terms of design and there are some really cool and trick features like if you see this rear light back here the way that's made it's just amazing so this car in black with the sort of chromed touches that you can see there are some carbon fiber parts and then some colored highlights on the inside but it's based around the 6 L V12 one of the best sounding engines ever it has 600 horsepower slightly up from the 576 in the regular uh Vanquish not to 62 mph in the coupe 3.5 seconds in the Roadster or the uh Volante it is 3.7 seconds but 600 horsepower 670 new M of torque and it sounds good mark my word for it these exhaust pipes at the back the quad pipes you've got make a very very nice noise so just looking around it let's come in and talk about that double bubble roof it's it's been an iconic part of zagato in Italy's designs zagato the coach builder of course we've seen some of their cars before and they've had a long relationship with Aston Martin going back to the db4 GT zagato some more recent projects uh the db7 zagato the DB ar1 and then they worked together for this the 99 Coupes and the 99 roadsters around at the front you've got this enlarged Grill it's made wider and you can see this kind of distinct Zed pattern in so many places around this car this shaping to the grill it's actually really quite neat if you come and look at how 3D that is um you've got the red uh badging on the Bonnet and the very very metallic sparkly paintwork on this car you can see the silver metallic flake there glist glistening away so looking around lots of carbon fiber parts that you can see invisible carbon so the splitter um the vents on the Bonnet but in fact the entire body is carbon so just like the regular Vanquish the whole body is carbon fiber uh reinforced for plastic but basically very very lightweight body panels the distinct zagato Zed worn on the wings there more carbon visible carbon I've got to stop saying just carbon because it's all carbon the whole car as you come around to the back you've got those same grills around the light but just look at this design look look at that that is just I don't know that is a really cool touch I like it a lot you've got a a little sort of wing that will rise here at speed at the rear of the hatch uh and yeah it's just I mean it's just a really really nice car it's just so well proportioned and so neatly sort of designed and shaped but let's just come back around and step into the inside uh and I'll show you in there so we've got the uh familiar Aston glass Crystal Key which is always very neat unlock the car open the doors the swan doors that open sort of hinging slightly upwards as you pull them out where your greeted by the Vanquish zagato dorsal plaque number 29 of 99 on the inside here you've got the Aston Martins 177 steering wheel the slightly squared off steering wheel that was an option on uh vanquishers and you've got these sort of bronzy gold highlights around the airbag on there and on the center sort of waterfall for the infotainment controls that are a kind of neat touch throughout looking backwards though you've got all this Zed quilting the zagato quilting the zagato embroidery on the head rest and this car really is this kind of bespoke special configuration coachbuilt Aston Martin Vis aat if we fold the seats forward you can see it's technically 2 plus two but not the most space in the world in the back um and I'll show you in the hatch shortly as well but let me just step in for a second because I want to fire the car up it's one of the most beautiful sounding engines you will ever hear the rumbles and bubles of that noise are just glorious and then the screen folds up where you've got a little bit of information you see the of track display naturally the air conditioning is blowing at me strongly because it's very very warm outside today let's just turn that down and I'm going to come around and show you in the engine bay as well P the flap just there just to have a look at the uh Power Plant in here it's running the rear wheels there we go 6 L V12 from ason Martin naturally aspirated how it should be just pure glorious engine the final inspection plate there Phill Jeff on this car number 29 uh let just pull this down give it a little drop into place yes so this is the Vanquish zagato pop open the uh rear hatch just quickly to show you in here luggage space practical for the road you've got this really nice Leather Pouch um for your emergency bits and pieces on the roadside um shouldn't need those and even a nice umbrella that comes built into the car there too and this ah here you can see this little carbon fiber of the body work um if I can just get in little bit closer so you can see this it's all raw carbon well finished visible carbon but that's the uh underneath and then this has a nice soft close as well so it closes down gently and smoothly so it's one of the most beautiful looking cars in the world but I think I should jump back in because it's a car that I really feel I need to take out for a little drive to tell you a little bit more about because this is the Vanquish zagato this is so special it is so beautiful to look at there are only 99 in the world let's jump in and go experience it on the road gently on the Move then in true Grand Touring Splendor the Vanquish is such a good GT car and obviously being based on that this carries through that same sense of Elegance and style and luxuriousness in here the things you're holding the 177 style steering wheel the rev counter that goes the opposite direction just the materials and the finish and the way it looks and it's just such a nice place to be the inside of the Vanquish is so so good when you're out on the road it's comfortable seating position is slightly oddly high I'll give it that um and this is exactly the same but that's a pretty small thing at the end of the day when you just think about what you're in and what you're driving and the style with which it does it and just cruising along gently right now in Drive we've got the 8speed ZF gearbox as before it's comfortable and smooth it's basically easy I'm in sport mode you could take it out of sport mode and the exhaust valves would open up later and it would be even sort of smoother you've got independent adaptive suspension control um so we can stiffen up the dampers I'm going to put it into sport U put it stiffer on the dampers and start using the manual gearbox to drop down some gears just so much torque in third gear just gently kind of wafting away and then the valves open and you listen to that noise just building the revs gradually it's incredible that sound I I almost didn't know what to say there it's that good it's a little bit louder than the Vanquish or my Vanquish downshift just Heavenly I'm just jaw to the floor at the sound of this thing it's one of the best sounds you could imagine and driving it's similar of course to Vanquish the same kind of setup with the Adaptive uh dampers firmer you've got a really nice turn it drives super super well so when you're out on a nice little twisty Road actually genuinely it's a car that will take you by surprise for the size of it for the weight of it even with the carbon fiber body it is still a heavy car um it does Drive remarkably well and then like I said that is the sound of Heaven that is one of the best sounding v12s ever the noise the shift noise the way it travels through the cabin I'm in Dreamland right now this is one of my favorite cars in the world and it cost just over £600,000 give or take it's about European price about €800,000 99 of them plus the 99 roadsters uh making 198 cars in total 600 Hors power maybe not the biggest number these days but this car isn't about that this car isn't chasing the numbers it's about the beauty and what it stands for what it represents and the history and Heritage of that Aston Martin zagato relationship the fact that if you go back to the db4 GT zagato those cars are worth nearly 10 million now because they are so highly sought after with that distinct styling and presence that the thing has from the start I'm just going to just just this Symphony pure pure orchestral Symphony as the refs build up it's brilliant it's just a glorious glorious sound in a car that you feel so when you're driving you just feel classy you feel like you're driving a beautiful thing you feel like you're at home you feel like you're in something that's really really special sh and I mean just to run over the small sort of negatives I guess from my experience V12 engine that obviously means you're going to be using a lot of fuel but this car you're probably not going to be taking it on huge huge long trips the seating position that's a bit High you don't have that much in terms of movement and where you can put it it might be sometimes a little bit nicer to be kind of lower and slightly further back um and then those two plus two seats behind are totally and utterly useless um that's not what this car is about at all but that is a massive massive massive Pro about this car the sound of it I mean it's this this sort of limited edition collection side you know these kind of cars most of the vanquishes will probably not do that many miles out on the road so a huge thanks to the owner for allowing me this opportunity to drive in this car um obviously due to the value I'm not driving it like a lunatic that's that's definitely not on the agenda at all but I am having an awesome time in this because it's about appreciating it and what it is and what it represents and the history and Heritage and that connection and the bespoke side of it how you can customize the car in your dream configuration how you can sort of go through this whole VIP process with Aston Martin he says just putting my foot down a little bit it's it's brilliant utterly brilliant this is almost certainly the most Heavenly sound you're going to hear today without any shadow of a doubt that it just goes on and on that noise it's so cool it's so cool now I'm going to draw actually one big complaint about the Vanquish zagato that I haven't mentioned up to this point and that is the visibility in the rear view mirror you can't see anything that double bubble roof goes all the way back down towards the rear of the boot and then there's a leather parcel shelf back there too giving you the tiniest little slit out of the back window and all you can see is the tarmac right behind you so there's a car following me at the moment at a sensible distance but I can't see it so if you want to see backwards you better not drive one of these if however you don't care about what's behind you because you're driving in an Aston Martin zato that doesn't matter as a KTM crossbow goes the other way that's rather unusual um anyway this is truly special it feels like such an incredible place to be I mean it's familiar on the inside from the Vanquish maybe a little bit more could be done to differentiate from that than just the sort of gold touches the Bron touches um but I'm not going to complain overall because it's the fact that it's this bespoke coachbuilt car what it stands for what it is is just something out of this world so I'm very very happy I'm going to pull over and uh show you some more little bits around the car alas great things come to an end but before I step out of the car let me show you a little bit more around it if you're not sort of familiar um with the Vanquish so we've got the bang and ol ofon speakers which are the tweeters that rise up out of the dashboard and when you turn it off sit back down which is such a Classy Touch then if I come in here on the dashboard you can see that opposite rev counter that spins anticlockwise rather than clockwise which is rather unusual but it's stylish in the sort of silver finish um and the updated sort of font styles that they've got then on the steering wheel you've got your volume and your uh controls there the suspension button sport button um cruise control on the other side the shifter paddles on the back sometimes I feel they could be ever so slightly bigger but they're fixed to the column uh not with the wheel and do the job pretty well that gearbox in here really is very very good then on the waterfall in the center console you've got the uh slot for the emotional control unit your Park reverse neutral and drive um your controls for the air conditioning and climate control and then you've got your uh media infotainment sort of settings here which brings us to a number of displays on the kind of folding up screen which you can just about see with all the glare from the Sun sorry about that and this is my favorite with the uh power meter uh when we get through the warning about track use only where it shows you uh you know how much power you're using so if I give it a gentle flip there you can see the revs and that side of things which is quite neat on that display um in the armrest you got a nice uh ashtray here just a nice sort of item um in what would otherwise be the um cup holder or if you fold this out the twin cup holder I sort of touch from owning one of these knowing how that works armrest for your USB and that kind of thing things um and then around the here you've just got your sort of familiar uh zagato stitching that I showed you earlier and a cubby hole the in the back of the seats which is interesting you don't get that on the valante uh just on the coupe but what I was saying earlier about that rear visibility you see that you see that tiny little slit for a rear window um yeah needless to say that doesn't work too well uh for viewing backwards but if you do turn your head around you do get a glimpse of the carbon fiber there on the uh window which is quite nice as well just seeing that on the inside and then this car has the sort of full leather headliner that's quite nice to touch not that you would often do so um sun visors these tiny little sun visors um but given how R the front window is they actually work rather well anyway so that's more or less all there is to show you on the inside you've got the fly off handbrake so um handbrake works on that side and drops back down and then you take it off back down as well and then your control for fuel cap open the boot and your windows all here on the door and um if you didn't know by the way that's the Martin seat controls on the inside on the center column and then the passenger ones are just here um where you've got all your memory and your Lumbar and multiple different ways you can move everything and this this is quite a neat little thing so along the bottom launch control traction hazards then here you have a pen did you know that there was an Aston Martin pen in the dashboard of an Aston Martin my old Vantage used to have one of those I think is really really cool how that works nice little uh little touch but let us turn it off silence in here and step out oh there was the nice Zed I don't know if you saw that the Zed on the uh display screen it's the G display let's step out for a moment to just have one sort of final wander around the car and look at it because it's a work of art it's truly an Italian designed work of of art based on the Brilliance of an Aston Martin and that really makes it one of my favorite cars um I mean the Rarity the exclusivity how special it is may not have the most highest performance in the world with only if I can say only 600 horsepower but it has the looks it has the sort of wow factor it has the presence and as the sun comes back out on it now I just come around at the paintwork again I'm not normally a fan of black paintworks but with the metallic flake in this it looks really nice and the satin black paint contrasting with the satin silver on the wheels makes for a nice look too ceramic brakes of course and just generally a very very special car so pretty awesome to be able to get a close look well and drive in the Vanquish zato um yeah just taking it all in still as we come around but really really awesome car and I have thoroughly enjoyed this so guys I hope you've enjoyed the video hope you've enjoyed seeing this car and a massive thanks to the owner for allowing me to share it with you and take it for a little drive and of course a thanks to Aston Martin and zagato for bringing us such a car in the first place anyway that's it that's the vanish zagato one of only 99 in the world thank you very much for watching that's it for now I will catch up with you again very very soon cheershi guys I'm shme and today we are going to take a look at one of the most beautiful cars in the world I'm going to take you on a walk around and then a test drive in the Aston Martin Vanquish zagato it is one of just 99 of these in the world of the coupe there are also 99 roadsters but it's a big thanks to the owner of this car for allowing me to come down today and show

column uh not with the wheel and do the job pretty well that gearbox in here really is very very good then on the waterfall in the center console you've got the uh slot for the emotional control unit your Park reverse neutral and drive um your controls for the air conditioning and climate control and then you've got your uh media infotainment sort of settings here which brings us to a number of displays on the kind of folding up screen which you can just about see with all the glare from the Sun sorry about that and this is my favorite with the uh power meter uh when we get through the warning about track use only where it shows you uh you know how much power you're using so if I give it a gentle flip there you can see the revs and that side of things which is quite neat on that display um in the armrest you got a nice uh ashtray here just a nice sort of item um in what would otherwise be the um cup holder or if you fold this out the twin cup holder I sort of touch from owning one of these knowing how that works armrest for your USB and that kind of thing things um and then around the here you've just got your sort of familiar uh zagato stitching that I showed you earlier and a cubby hole the in the back of the seats which is interesting you don't get that on the valante uh just on the coupe but what I was saying earlier about that rear visibility you see that you see that tiny little slit for a rear window um yeah needless to say that doesn't work too well uh for viewing backwards but if you do turn your head around you do get a glimpse of the carbon fiber there on the uh window which is quite nice as well just seeing that on the inside and then this car has the sort of full leather headliner that's quite nice to touch not that you would often do so um sun visors these tiny little sun visors um but given how R the front window is they actually work rather well anyway so that's more or less all there is to show you on the inside you've got the fly off handbrake so um handbrake works on that side and drops back down and then you take it off back down as well and then your control for fuel cap open the boot and your windows all here on the door and um if you didn't know by the way that's the Martin seat controls on the inside on the center column and then the passenger ones are just here um where you've got all your memory and your Lumbar and multiple different ways you can move everything and this this is quite a neat little thing so along the bottom launch control traction hazards then here you have a pen did you know that there was an Aston Martin pen in the dashboard of an Aston Martin my old Vantage used to have one of those I think is really really cool how that works nice little uh little touch but let us turn it off silence in here and step out oh there was the nice Zed I don't know if you saw that the Zed on the uh display screen it's the G display let's step out for a moment to just have one sort of final wander around the car and look at it because it's a work of art it's truly an Italian designed work of of art based on the Brilliance of an Aston Martin and that really makes it one of my favorite cars um I mean the Rarity the exclusivity how special it is may not have the most highest performance in the world with only if I can say only 600 horsepower but it has the looks it has the sort of wow factor it has the presence and as the sun comes back out on it now I just come around at the paintwork again I'm not normally a fan of black paintworks but with the metallic flake in this it looks really nice and the satin black paint contrasting with the satin silver on the wheels makes for a nice look too ceramic brakes of course and just generally a very very special car so pretty awesome to be able to get a close look well and drive in the Vanquish zato um yeah just taking it all in still as we come around but really really awesome car and I have thoroughly enjoyed this so guys I hope you've enjoyed the video hope you've enjoyed seeing this car and a massive thanks to the owner for allowing me to share it with you and take it for a little drive and of course a thanks to Aston Martin and zagato for bringing us such a car in the first place anyway that's it that's the vanish zagato one of only 99 in the world thank you very much for watching that's it for now I will catch up with you again very very soon cheers\n"
