Aston Martin introduced its brand new DB4 model at the 1958 London Motor Show.
The first big hit about this new sports car from Aston Martin was the lightweight chassis structure developed by Milan-based Carrozzeria Touring. Then there was the all-new 3.7L 6-cylinder inline engine, delivering 240 hp and designed by Tadek Marek. Throughout its 5 years in the production series, the DB4 received no less than five updates, the most ‘aerodynamic’ of which being the one in 1962 (featuring a longer body). Also in 1962, the Aston Martin DB4 was available in a convertible variant (70 units were sold until model’s discontinuance a year later).
