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.
