Aston Martin to Debut One-77 & V12 Zagato in Automotive Heaven

It’s that time of year again, when car aficionados make their way to automotive heaven for the renowned Monterey Car Week including the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California. This week-long celebration has a series of exclusive, festive events that will drive any enthusiast into full gear. Fueling the excitement, Aston Martin has confirmed the American debut of both the One-77 and V12 Zagato in California from Aug. 17-21.

Celebrations kicked off last night during the McCall’s Motorworks Revival where the V12 Zagato made its American debut. Originally shown as a concept car at the prestigious Villa D’Este Concours in Italy earlier this year, the V12 Zagato matches modern day technology with traditional craftsmanship. The company announced earlier this month that there would be a limited production run of the exquisite sports car, which will begin in the summer of 2012.

Also making an appearance at Pebble Beach is the One-77 at The Aston Martin Estate. This private venue, situated high above Carmel with panoramic views across the Monterey Bay, will provide the perfect backdrop for showcasing this ultimate Aston Martin. Equipped with modern technology and fused with traditional hand-craftsmanship, the One-77 embodies everything Aston Martin.

“The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is an event that everyone who loves fine automobiles looks forward to each year,” said Sonny Morgan, managing partner at John Eagle European’s Aston Martin of Austin. “It gives everyone a chance to celebrate the heritage, design and performance of beautiful sports cars like Aston Martin.”

For private viewings of the V12 Zagato and test drives in Aston’s high-performance sports cars, The Aston Martin Estate will be open Aug. 18-20 between 10:00am and 4:00pm daily.
