Aston Martin and Zagato have teamed up to create the fifth model in its partnership with the gorgeous Vanquish Zagato.

It’s been five long and agonizing years since Italian design house Zagato and Aston Martin teamed up to create a stunning supercar. The last model—the Aston Martin V12 Zagato—marked the 50th anniversary of the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and was built upon the previous rendition of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Only 150 models of the 510-hp, V12 Zagato were ever built, which made it a highly sought after supercar with gorgeous styling and amazing performance.

Aston Martin and Zagato have teamed up again to make what may be one of the prettiest cars ever made.

The Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Concept is the latest vehicle from the iconic partnership between the two brands and is making its debut at this weekend’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Just as its name suggests, the vehicle is based on the current Vanquish and comes with the same 6.0-liter V12. While the regular Vanquish only puts out 568 hp, the Zagato variant gains 24 more hp for a total of 592 horses. That should make it a little quicker than the regular Vanquish and the previous V12 Zagato, as well.

Just like the previous collaborations, Zagato has found a way to add its gorgeous touches, while preserving the Vanquish’s beautiful lines. The vehicles features Zagato’s iconic twin-bubble roof and wraparound windshield, as well as “bladed” taillights that are meant to mimic Aston Martin’s Vulcan hypercar.

As other Zagato models, it’s safe to assume that this will be an extremely limited supercar that will sell for an insane amount of money. But it’s well worth it, as it will become one of the prettiest cars on the road today.
