ASTON MARTIN is following the lead of fellow British sportscar-maker Jaguar and has confirmed that it will recreate one of its rarest and most desirable models to date in an exclusive run of 25 ‘continuation’ DB4 GTs.
Like Jaguar’s reborn cars, the new Aston Martin DB4 GTs will be a strictly track-only proposition with all 25 examples built to Lightweight specification. Just 75 of the original DB4 GTs were ever crafted at the UK factory but lightweight versions are an even rarer beast with just eight completed.
Deliveries of the exclusive DB4s will start in the third quarter of 2017 but Aston Martin has not advertised how much it is asking customers to stump for their piece of the company’s history, although original examples might offer a guideline. If you can find an original DB4 GT Lightweight for sale you’ll need a budget of about $A5.1m to make it yours.
