In preparation for the race car will debut at the Nurburgring this weekend, Aston Martin has given the public seeking first-hand look at the race spec version of the V12 Zagato. It may be just the provision of a car, but at least it gives us an idea of what to expect when the car officially debut next makes his May 28, 2011 at the 53rd ADAC ACAS H & R-Cup VLN race.
Judging by the rendering race spec V12 Zagato looks very much like the street version with several well-known add-ons, including prominent rear wing, front lip and desktop black wheels.
That's as much as Aston is ready to share at this time. But at least it will not wait that long before we see race spec version in the flesh. Good timing too, considering that the 24-hour Nürburgring is scheduled for June 25 and 26, 2011, and Aston Martin will be fielding two V12 Zagatos in the annual endurance race.
