Official: Production Aston Martin V12 Zagato headed for Kuwait reveal Car News and Review

A howling red prototype of the Aston Martin’s V12 Zagato made the international rounds last year, and now the first production example is headed for a Middle East reveal at the Kuwait Concours d’ Elegance (running February 15-18). Only 150 of the super-exclusive Astons will be made for worldwide consumption.

Aston Martin hasn’t released whatever new photos so we don’t know how the 510-horsepower, £330,000 (that’s $ 550,000 U.S., before taxes), aluminum-and-carbon-bodied coupe will differ from its progenitor. If the model on display at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show is an indicator, though, the spoiler on the beauty in the above pic has been swapped for a redesigned trunk lid.

We’ll know more in a few weeks, so until then there’s a press release after the jump and a couple of image galleries for you to enjoy.
