LONDON; One of Aston Martin’s most iconic models – the DB4 G.T. — is to be celebrated with a special series of 25 track-only continuation cars built to lightweight specification by Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell.
The modern versions will be based on the original “lightweight” specification version of the DB4 GT, of which Aston made only eight. They will cost $1.9 million each.
Customers can order them directly from the factory and have them delivered by the end of 2017
Launched in 1959, the DB4 G.T. was celebrated as one of the rarest and most revered of all Aston Martins.
Evolved from the production DB4 and introduced in the same year Aston Martin scored its historic outright win in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the DB4 G.T. was a true supercar of its day.
Shorter, lighter, sleeker and with a more powerful version of the legendary 3.7-liter straight-six engine, not only was the DB4 G.T.
Britain’s fastest passenger sports car, it was a born winner, scoring a debut race victory at Silverstone in the hands of Sir Stirling Moss.
A total of 75 DB4 GTs were built between 1959 and 1963.
Of these only eight were lightweight models, most of which survive today, and values now comfortably exceed $3.75 million.
