2020 | Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato #1 of 19

Sotheby’s Motorsport is proud to present one of the most historically significant modern Aston Martins ever built: Car #1 of just 19 DBS GT Zagatos, serving as the prototype for the entire production run. This example is truly one-of-a-kind—the only DBS GT Zagato finished in fully exposed carbon-fiber weave, a striking visual statement that reveals the intricate craftsmanship beneath its sculpted surfaces. Commissioned as part of the exclusive DBZ Centenary Collection, the DBS GT Zagato was offered solely in tandem with a DB4 GT Zagato Continuation for an original price of over $6 million, cementing its place among the rarest and most coveted modern Astons.

The DBS GT Zagato represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s long-standing partnership with legendary Italian design house Zagato, a collaboration spanning more than six decades. Built on the formidable DBS Superleggera platform and enhanced to produce an estimated 760 hp from its 5.2L twin-turbocharged V12, it delivers thrilling performance—0–60 mph in approximately 3.4 seconds and a top speed beyond 210 mph—wrapped in avant-garde design. Its signature double-bubble roof, wraparound windshield, muscular haunches, and unique grille treatment pay homage to the original DB4 GT Zagato while pushing Aston Martin’s design language into bold new territory.

This prototype 2020 Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato example retains its original silver grille in addition to its fitted carbon piece and has been carefully preserved since new. Inside, the cockpit is finished entirely in Obsidian Black contemporary Caithness leather, including matching stitching, parcel shelf, and steering wheel, paired with heavyweight Obsidian Black carpeting. The specification includes the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system, machined carbon-fiber wings badge, 3D printed carbon-structure facia trim, and dark chrome jewellery pack. A sports carbon-fiber/leather steering wheel, gloss carbon-fiber mirror caps, and exposed gloss carbon-fiber roof panel reinforce the car’s bespoke character. The car was specified with no exterior graphics, ensuring the uninterrupted presentation of its carbon body, and has been fully wrapped in paint protection film from new. With just 881 miles on the odometer, this DBS GT Zagato is a time capsule—offering its next owner the chance to acquire not only a world-class grand tourer but also an irreplaceable piece of Aston Martin history.

As the prototype and the very first car in the limited run, this DBS GT Zagato is more than just a collector’s item—it is the reference point for every example that followed. Its unique exposed carbon-fiber construction, ultra-low mileage, and singular place in the model’s legacy make it an unrepeatable opportunity for discerning collectors. Whether destined for a private collection or poised to make a statement at the world’s most prestigious concours, this car stands as the ultimate expression of Aston Martin and Zagato’s shared artistry, performance, and exclusivity.
