Description[]
The Aston Martin DB4 is a grand tourer produced by Aston Martin from 1958 to 1963. Designed by Federico Fomenti of Carrozzeria Touring, the DB4 was manufactured in five series and featured a new 3.7L inline-6 designed by Tadek Marek. The DB4 GT was a lightweight high-performance version of the standard DB4, with a reduced wheelbase and often without rear seats. 75 were produced, of which 19 were rebodied with Zagato bodywork and 1 with Bertone bodywork.
This casting was designed in collaboration and with inputs from Aston Martin Director of Design Miles Nurnberger and Lead Exterior Designer Thomas Gilbert; Gilbert is credited with the original concept and sketch of the vehicle which imagined a DB4 GT for use on the Bonneville Salt Flats, with the car being a reimagination of the DB4 GT modified with some aspects of American car culture. Nurnberger chose to develop Gilbert's initial concept following further research by company historian Steve Waddingham revealing that one of Aston Martin's customers took a DB4 GT to the salt flats to race in the 1960s.
