Aston Martin V12 Zagato Concept

Aston Martin will be celebrating the iconic DB4GT Zagato’s 50th anniversary with a new concept car developed in collaboration with the Italian design house Zagato. The concept car made its first appearance at the Villa D?Este Concours on May 21st, 2011 and will make its racing debut at N�rburgring on May 28th.

Dr. Ulrich Bez, Chief Executive said: "The DNA of both Aston Martin and Zagato has combined successfully to make some of the world?s most desirable collector cars in the past and in this special anniversary year of the DB4GT Zagato it is appropriate to explore a modern collaboration. Now is the right time for a new Aston Martin Zagato and in combining our design intelligence I think we can create something fitting of the iconic DB4GT Zagato that has gone before and since established itself as one of the most famous Aston Martins of all time."

The original Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato made its first appearance in 1960 at the London Motor Show. It was essentially a much lighter DB4 GT that got worked on by the Italian Coachbuilder to include a 3670 cc straight-6 DOHC engine that produced 314 HP with a top speed of 154 mph.

Fans View: I love F1 because?

By Stefan Mackley

The Belgium Grand Prix of 1998 was where my obsession of F1 and even of motor sport began, in a race few will forget.

The race had everything, appalling conditions, a red flag, nearly all the cars in pieces after a crash at the start of the race and Michael Schumacher almost coming ...

2006-2009 Chevy HHR

I'm working on a master for a resin project of the Chevy HHR. This is a Road Ripper toy that was a tether "remote control" and is about 1/26 scale. Detailed nicely (for a toy) and will build into a nice master I think...it has "the look" and looks "right". I've got a 1:1 HHR, so I have accurate reference material! Laugh After cutting out the windows, removing bumpers, headlights, grille & running boards, I'll massage the body and correct things that aren't quite accurate. I'll build masters of all available wheels, and optional parts for the SS model. The donor chassis is a Revell PT Cruiser convertible, which has the same basic layout as an HHR in relation to suspension, drivetrain, fuel tank, exhaust, etc. A few corrections and it fits like a glove. Will have to scratch build the interior, that will be the toughest part. Then to find a caster & possibly get an assembly kit available! Any comments or suggestions are welcome from this experienced crew here! Bow
