Unveiled at the prestigious 2014 Chantilly Arts & Elegance Concours D’Elegance, this one-off Aston Martin pays homage to Aston Martin’s centenary with a design that blends cutting-edge styling cues with the functional elegance of a shooting brake. The Virage Shooting Brake is part of Zagato’s ‘Centennial’ trilogy, following the Coupé and Spider models, all crafted to commemorate Aston Martin’s hundredth anniversary. This particular variant marries the luxurious grand tourer capabilities of the Aston Martin Virage with the practicality of a shooting brake body style.
