Posted: 27 May 2011 04:35 AM PDT

For all you Aston Martin fans out there, we have the latest images of its V12 Zagato endurance racer. Have a look.

As you can see in the pictures alongside, the V12 Zagato comes up in an orange tint featuring large, black rear wing.

Expected to make its racing debut at the Nurburgring this weekend, Aston Martin V12 Zagato is likely to be a limited edition, as hinted by CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez.

Possibly, two editions of the racer will compete at the 24-hr endurance race at the Nurburgring scheduled from June 25 to 26.

Dr.Ulrich has been quoted as saying that the 24-hour race is the ultimate road test and a fitting introduction for the V12 Zagato.

A road-going variant is also anticipated. However, a lot depends on the customer reaction to the current racer!
