Aston Martin Vanquish Roadste

Zagato revealed their modified Aston Martin Vanquish Roadster at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show.

A close cooperation between Nori Harada, Zagato’s Automotive Chief Designer, and Peter Hutchinson, Design Manager at Aston Martin, resulted in the Aston Martin Vanquish Roadster introducing elements that were different to other vehicles in the Roadster segment.

The Zagato Aston Martin Vanquish Roadster has a hard top for winter, developed to not appear as an add-on but as an integral part that also takes in the rear. In better weather the hardtop is replaced by transparent hardened glass and an easily used soft cover. Developed by Zagato’s engineers, this soft top is easily and simply mounted and, when not in use, is held in the luggage compartment without taking up much space.

The Aston Martin Vanquish Roadster by Zagato has a round rear light cluster, a tapered tail to best feature the wheel arches and a completely new rear bumper. The hardened glass, with its curvy ‘double bubble’ form gives the rear a muscular appearance.
