Buying an Aston Martin DB4

Aston Martin DB4Although Aston Martin would begin work on the DB4 in 1956 at the same time as the DB Mark III, it would not debut to the public until the London Motor Show of 1958. Renowned as the first production car capable of accelerating from 0 to 100mph and then to a complete stop in under 30 seconds, the Aston Martin DB4 also boasted a 0 to 100mph of just 21 seconds. Marking a new era for the automaker, the Aston Martin DB4 would put the company back in line with other high performance sports cars of the era. Every major component of the DB4 was new. The four-seat body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, which employed their new Superleggera construction method in which aluminum panels were fixed to a tubular frame built onto a substantial platform chassis. Under the hood was a new 3.7L six-cylinder engine that was all-alloy and was raced in the DBR2 in 1957. A DB4 convertible was launched in 1961, as well as a DB4 derived four-door Lagonda Rapide. Throughout production, which lasted through 1963, the DB4 range would gradually develop adding a DB4 GT and an ultra-rare DB4 GT Zagato version and model-year changes often referred to as Series 2, 3, 4 and 5 before being replaced by the DB5.
