The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato originally had 19 cars produced.
Aston Martin and Italian coachbuilder Zagato created the model as a lighter, more competition-focused version of the DB4 GT. Zagato’s Ercole Spada designed a compact aluminium body, while non-essential equipment such as bumpers was removed to reduce weight. The car debuted at the 1960 London Motor Show.
The factory initially planned to build 25 examples, but demand for the expensive specialist grand tourer was weaker than expected. Production therefore stopped at 19 original cars between 1960 and 1963. That figure is the canonical answer when a quiz asks how many DB4 GT Zagatos were originally produced.
A common mix-up comes from later cars. Aston Martin and Zagato subsequently built four Sanction II cars and two Sanction III cars, while a separate 19-car DB4 GT Zagato Continuation run began in 2019. Those later vehicles do not change the original production total.
