Aston Martin Reveals Vanquish Zagato Convertible for Pebble Beach

egular Vanquish Volante looks okay, but Zagato have made it into a jewel of a car just in time for this year's Pebble Beach event.

The Vanquish is not this pretty, but the guys at Zagato have given it Kim Kardashian curves. What's more, we're dealing with a brand new Volante version, which is fancy British talk for a convertible.

Showing a little bit more leather never hurt anybody, especially if it's custom-made. Regular mortals like us can only dream what it would be like to spoon up to one of these babies. In fact, I'm still trying to get over the curves of the V12 Vantage, and it's been five years since I met her.

Anyway, the Vanquish Volante by Zagato is going to be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And it's not even one of those fancy concepts that never get made, as the production of 99 units has already been approved.

That's right, demand for the coupe version of this car was so high that Aston Martin decided to make a batch of convertibles. Volante is Italian for "flying", and it's the word used by the automaker for its more comfortable cars, which is why the V12 Vantage is called a roadster.

Beauty can't be explained in numbers, but power can. The V12 engine under the hood of the beast produces 592 horsepower and will rocket you and your significant other to 62 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds.

Pricing has not been revealed yet but is expected to be somewhere in the region of £500,000. That's over 27 times more than a basic Mazda MX-5 Miata, but we think it's worth it.

The styling offers radical alterations from the conventional Vanquish, thanks to a large grille, distinct blue LED daytime running lights and that sexy rump. No, we don't think it looks as good as the coupe, but no car ever does. You're buying a custom-fabricated carbon fiber bodied V12 GT with a convertible top. And no Italian car is this classy.
