And something remarkable just did, as no less than four of the rarest and most impressive Aston Martins ever made popped up for sale all at once, coming from a privately owned collection that was not named.
The four cars are not simple Aston Martins, but Zagatos, meaning vehicles built with help from one of Italy's most respected coachbuilders, and they form according to the British carmaker "a near-complete anthology" of the collaboration between the two companies.
Described as "perhaps the most significant collection of modern Aston Martin Zagato models ever curated," the collection includes the Vanquish Zagato in three body styles (Volante, Shooting Brake and Speedster) and the DBS GT Zagato.
All four are based on the Aston Martin Vanquish from the previous generation and have been unveiled over the past ten years, meaning that they share the same powerplant: a naturally aspirated V12 that delivers 592 horsepower.
The Vanquish Zagato, for instance, was introduced at the 2016 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este as a coupe, and it was initially made in a limited run of just 99 units. The other body styles followed, bringing the total production run of 325 cars, unevenly divided between them: there were just 28 Speedsters made, for instance, and the example in this collection is one of them.
The rarest car in this collection remains the DBS GT Zagato. The vehicle came to be as a means to celebrate 100 years since the birth of the coachbuilder, and was part of the DBZ Centenary Collection together with the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation, with just 19 pairs of them ever made.
As said, all these incredible cars are for sale, and they'll go to new owners from the hands of Aston Martin Works. The company does not say how much it charges for each of them (or, it does, but only if you are serious about it and really plan on buying one), but you only have to consider the following to know these things are not meant for the masses.
The DBS GT Zagato and its pair car were at the time of their introduction the most expensive car suite ever made: Aston charged six million pounds (almost $7.8 million) for each. Not including taxes.
Aston Martin does not have these cars publicly listed, and calls on those interested to know more about them to contact the Works division directly.
