With just one glance, you get a sense of the stylistic history of this prestigious coachbuilder from the pre-war period to the present day.

The [1960 Aston Martin DB4 GT](https://roarington.com/media-house/directories/cars/aston-martin-db4gt-zagato) on display in Zagato’s virtual showroom in Roarington symbolizes the craftsmanship of this coachbuilder, whose rich history commenced over a century ago.

Today, real and virtual meet, and the ability to walk around the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato sheds light on how its aluminium bodywork is engineered for optimal aerodynamic efficiency, while offering an insight into the driving experience, particularly when seated in the cockpit on the classic Zagato snug driving seat and grasping the large steering wheel from the early ‘60s, which was instrumental in reducing driving effort in the absence of modern driving aids, and crucial for decisively and precisely correcting the vehicle’s natural tendency to skid in races.
