Ford Mustang Exotica Hides an Aston Martin Vanquish V12 Under its Hood [with Video]

Built by Western Motorsports, this one-of-a-kind Mustang gets a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 600 ponies from a 2001 Aston Martin Vanquish. Power is sent to the chunky rear wheels through a 6 speed manual Tremec T-56 transmission.

This is prefab likely by the lowly mounting of its engine by 100 mm as a prove of the usage of the dry-sump write of oil method. The One-77 also scores inebriated when it comes to road-handling and lightsomeness. This different bounds by the Aston Saint speedster is achieved through the mounting of the engine by nigh 257 mm astern in somebody to the line of the slicker machine installation.

Time the big prevarication some the Aston Player One-77 are mostly most the elegant components that are all invisible from the national eye, yet you are assured that every division is the handiwork flooded of desire and earnestness to flawlessness.

2012 Aston Martin V12 Zagato review

Aston Martin will present the beautiful new V12 Zagato concept of endurance racing on the shores of Lake Como, Italy Villa D'Este contest. The revival of a partnership that produced some of the cars the most beautiful and sought after in the world, the partnership is based on the past, to create a modern descendant of classical and V8 Vantage Zagato Zagato Zagato DB4GT DB7 and on the basis of Aston Martin Vantage latter interpretation of the V12 Vantage range performance.
 

Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin said: "The language of Zagato design is a perfect complement to our design expertise and technical After 50 years with the two companies are linked together, the partnership has produced some of the most emblematic. cars. "

"Of course, there are fifty years of Italian design houses were widely seen as paving the way with new designs, but now, and sustained by our independence, Aston Martin has its own in-house design capabilities, so this new venture with Zagato is more cooperation it may have been in the past. "

"Our mission is to create a concept, which is the natural successor to the iconic car that came before us. Correspondence age technology with traditional skills vital for making such a machine to measure and exclusive sport of driving leads to strictly limited to the road V12 Zagato ".

Work began in 2010 with the first meetings between Aston Martin and Zagato, which draws the design incorporating the DNA of the two companies discussed and decided to proceed with the project.

Design Director, Marek Reichman said, "The design team at Gaydon has spent time refining the concept with a mix of the latest computer modeling clay models with traditional craftsmanship to give an idea of ​​the real world proportions, the position and detail "

"The V12 Zagato is an elegant and brutal that reflects the perfect balance between performance and pure racing style Aston Martin Zagato DB4GT The original was an icon, powerful and elegant. The new design is an accurate representation of muscle Zagato DB4GT spirit. Organic shapes define the nature of the credentials of horse racing the car. "

Working alongside the design team was the first group of engineers led by Chris Porritt, Aston Martin - previously responsible for the engineering of the One-77. With the skills and knowledge acquired in these specialized projects, this team has worked for the unique design of the V12 Zagato to reality in a very short time.

With a new aluminum body craft, V12 Zagato has an impressive, muscular design is not possible using techniques pre-formed panel. Use of influences and skills of the legacy of nearly 100 years in the trade, were each aluminum panel formed with a wheel and the body of English traditional form of folding. Each wing consists of only seven pieces of aluminum, combined, and then hand finished to give a liquid form. Another stylistic element is the iconic Zagato double bubble roof in this case created from five separate pieces that illustrate the intensity of the craft involved in the construction of V12 Zagato.
 

Designed to focus the driver, the V12 was aged Zagaton pure driving pleasure in mind. Aston Martin V12 Zagaton combines dynamic bonded aluminum chassis powered by 6.0 liter V12, 510 hp (380 kW / 517 hp) and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque.

The V12 Vantage, which forms the basis for the V12 Zagato has been proven in the field since 2009 with a class win in his first race on the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring, while being close to the production standard with only essential safety modifications weight and re-tuned suspension, but no other aerodynamic improvements. In 2011, the car continued to form the basis for the new GT3 Aston Martin unveiled last month.

The first Zagato DB4GT shown to the public in late 1960 spent much of his life as a race car after his release. Later, perhaps the two most famous Zagato VEV registered DB4GT '1 'and '2 VEV been implemented successfully by such names as Roy Salvadori and Jim Clark. The fascinating history of these cars and the nature of high performance and low weight, which led Zagato projects provided the inspiration for the first two V12 Zagato has created the endurance race car.

Zagaton racing debut of the V12 will be a four-hour race at the Nürburgring VLN May 28 race cars in two 24-hour race in June 25/26. Car driven by a team with a lot of experience with Aston Martin Racing cars, led by its sixth year, the Director General, Dr. Ulrich Bez.
