The ultra-rare Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake, limited to just 99 units worldwide, has recently appeared on the auction market, drawing significant attention. Only 11 units were sold in the United States, and one has now gone to auction after just 3,500 miles (approximately 5,632 km) of driving.
What’s truly surprising is that the vehicle sold for approximately $468,000—nearly half its original new car price of $877,916 in 2024. A collaboration between Aston Martin and Italian design house Zagato hails this rare model as a true collector’s item that combines artistic value and high performance.
Reborn as a Wagon
Art Meets Practicality
The Zagato Shooting Brake is a wagon-style reinterpretation of the Vanquish coupe, built on the Rapide’s extended wheelbase. The front features a distinctive Zagato grille and splitter. Unique daytime running lights and 20-inch alloy wheels further accentuate its original exterior charm.
The rear design mirrors the elegance of the front, with smooth, balanced lines. The roofline, bearing Zagato’s signature aesthetics, merges functionality with beauty. It also offers a surprisingly practical cargo area, making it a suitable companion for long-distance travel.
Inside, the cabin is finished in Bridge of Weir leather in Pure Black and Sahara Tan, adding a luxurious feel. Z-shaped stitching details are found throughout the door panels and seats. The car also includes a Bang & Olufsen audio system and a carpeted trunk space.
Naturally Aspirated V12
Purity Without Electrification
Under the hood lies a 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering up to 580 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, preserving the true grand touring driving experience.
There’s no hybrid, no electric motor—only the raw emotion and sound of a pure internal combustion engine. With its focus on unfiltered driving pleasure, the model appeals strongly to true automotive enthusiasts. As one of the final pure GTs carrying the legacy of Aston Martin and Zagato, its significance is even more pronounced.
Notably, it was recently sold for around $440,000—again, roughly half its original price. Despite its rarity and symbolic value, the car appears undervalued in the current market. For serious luxury car collectors, now may be the perfect time to act.
