The new Aston Martin V12 Zagato will be appearing next month at the 64th IAA International
Motor Show at Frankfurt.
Along with the largest display of contemporary Aston Martins ever seen at a
Motor Show, two V12 Zagatos, both having completed their engineering sign-off
at the Nürburgring 24 hour race, will be shown for the first time at a
mainstream event. |  | Hand assembled at the company's global headquarters in Gaydon, England, the
V12 Zagato is based on the highly acclaimed V12 Vantage and features a
beautiful 'handcrafted‘ aluminium and carbon fibre body. Combining traditional
craftsmanship and high technology, the V12 Zagato also boasts Aston Martin's
most dynamic bonded aluminium platform and the power of the company's acclaimed
6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb
ft) of torque.
Following extremely positive initial customer reaction, the V12 Zagato is
being offered for sale at £330,000 GBP excluding local taxes and will go into
strictly limited production of up to 150 cars in summer 2012.

adding a certain ‘je ne sais quoi' to its cars through design flair and
technological know-how.
It has come up trumps again with the introduction of its two latest limited
editions, entry-level Pzaz, and the ever-popular I-Music, with prices starting
at £6,795. The Pzaz range is the most affordable way into a new Renault, with prices
for the Twingo 1.2 16V 75 starting at only £6,795, thanks to a current £1,000
customer saving at participating dealers. | The Twingo Pzaz comes with 4x20W RDS
CD MP3 audio system and electric windows, sports style front bumper, height
adjustable steering wheel and remote central door locking. There's also the
option of paying for three years' servicing upfront for just £199.
Moving up in size, the Clio Pzaz is available in either three- or five-door
guise with the same 1.2 16V 75 engine, priced at an equally palatable £7,995 or
£8,595, again, given the current customer saving of £1,000 at participating
dealers.
The Clio Pzaz comes with everything needed to enjoy stylish, practical and
affordable motoring, including 4x20W CD MP3 player with fingertip control, AUX
input and front electric windows. It also comes with striking 15-inch wheel
trims, front side airbags, white interior touches and remote central locking.
The last of the four models in the Pzaz line-up is the Mégane Hatch. Powered
by the 1.6 100 engine, it features 15-inch wheel trims, 4x15W radio CD MP3
player with AUX input, air conditioning, ESC (Electronic Stability
Control),electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, front driver and
passenger airbags, all for less than £10,000 at £9,995 to be precise, once more
due to a healthy customer saving, this time £1,600. |
