Aston Martin has a new luxury station wagon - and it looks awesome

Until now.
On Wednesday, Aston Martin unveiled its new Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake two-door wagon.
The Shooting Brake is just one model in a family of special editions Aston is building in conjunction with famed Italian design house Zagato.
The other body variants include a Coupe, a four-seat Volante convertible, and a two-seat open-top Speedster.
"Zagato's relationship with Aston Martin began with my grandfather and the DB4 GT Zagato, almost sixty years ago," the design firm's CEO, Andrea Zagato said in a statement. "To have a creative 'marriage' thrive for three generations is something as unique as the cars themselves."

All four Zagato models are based on Aston Martin's flagship Vanquish S super grand tourer. The result is a limited production Aston powered by a 6.0 liter V12, which puts out 580 horsepower, and it's hooked up to an eight-speed automatic transmission powering the rear wheels.
In addition, Zagato's curvaceous body panels will be made out of lightweight carbon.

According to Aston, all of the Coupes, Volantes, and Speedsters have been sold. However, there are still some Shooting Brakes available.
In case you're wondering about price, the Coupe and Volante both cost roughly $800,000 to $850,000. The Speedster is particularly pricey at $1.3 million while the Shooting Brake proved to be the value buy of the group at $770,000.
