Keira Knightley, Your Ride is Here

Yes I know you’re already seen the V12 Zagato on this very page. Does you really need another excuse to look at it again? Besides, we’ve got some actual information this time!

They’ve just taken the wraps off the new V12 Zagato at the Kuwait Classic D’Elegance. In the flesh, it’s an absolute stunner of a car, and no mistake.

The car will get its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, but the production version made a special appearance in Kuwait this week. Cliff notes version: this is a rebodied V12 Vantage with a manual transmission, basically made of incredibly expensive bits. Those body panels? Carbonfibre. The bonnet? Hand formed aluminium. The paint alone takes more than a 100 hours to complete, so it’s good that they’ll only be building 150 of these. The cost? Well, if you have to ask, you know the rest.

But don’t expect too much change left over from AED 2 million, once it gets here.
