2011 Aston Martin V12 Zagato Concept

The Aston Martin V12 Zagato is an endurance racing concept car made by Aston Martin in collaboration with Zagato to celebrate a 50 year partnership since the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. Introduced in Lake Como, Italy at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on 21 May 2011, the Zagato was awarded with the competition's "Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes" which has also been won by the One-77 in 2009.

Like the Aston Martin V12 Vantage on which it is based, the V12 Zagato is powered by a 6.0 L V12 engine with 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque.

The concept features a new handcrafted aluminium body with a front similar to the one of the Vantage and a heavily modified middle, roof and rear section uniting the design DNAs of the two companies. Another extra is the endurance racing fuel tank carrying up to 120 litres of fuel. (wikipedia)

2007 Bertone Fiat Barchetta Concept

Directly inspired by the 1947 Fiat 500 Barchetta designed by the then young Nuccio Bertone. 

Bertone presented the Fiat Barchetta concept car in 2007 in celebration of its 95th anniversary. 

The historic relationship between the two companies has lasted for 

more than eighty years and has generated more than fifty 

highly successful models counting concept cars, one-offs and production cars.
The upper shell of the Barchetta concept was entirely hand beaten and 
polished by the master panel beaters still working for Bertone today. 
This single piece of aluminium extended like a cloak from the front tip of the bonnet 
to embrace the upper part of the sides and rear arches, terminating in the tail.
