The data do not reveal it so easily, but on this car is to find beside the dashboard much news. It starts at the six-cylinder all-aluminum from Tadek Marek, goes further with the framework design by Harold Beach and ends at a major partner, the body specialists of Touring in Milan. They design a very light body, where aluminum plate is drawing above a tubular structure. Still more important is the beauty of the body, still to see on the following models. A disadvantage of the beauty however is, that one must load the luggage space at the backseat. The picture above shows the body of the GT Zagato of the last series, the confusion can arise when the question is, what's now the more beautyful car.
There are actually origins that stated the DB 4 to have the best acceleration as a production cars of its time. The question is whether this information can be trusted, like the power rating, that is sometimes made by Aston Martin. It will give later models, one keep up with Rolls Royce and reveals the performance and maximum torque not at all. Almost unbelievable is the sporting success with victory at Le Mans in 1959 and so many more last to win the World Sports Car Championship.
