Aston Martin is set to unveil a convertible version of their new Vanquish Zagato Coupe line, which was unveiled a few months ago and sold out all 99 vehicles available worldwide.

The cool and expensive Aston Martin vehicles made its North American debut on Sunday at the Concour d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, California, with 15 cars coming in the continent and sold. The cars are worth $745,000.

The making of the car's design is part of Aston Martin's collaboration with Italian design house Zagato. Both companies' business relationship dates back to the 1960s, having done the DB4 GT Zagato race car, according to USA Today.

The design changes of the Coupe include a unique front grille, striking vents on the car hood and a dip that runs down from the middle of the roof. Marek Reichman, the Chief Creative Officer of the company, said in a statement that the convertible version will have the same design as the coupe. "Just like the coupe, we have emphasized the way surfaces change and intersect to create a muscular form," Reichman said.

The Aston Martin convertible vehicle design showed at Pebble Beach shows a carbon-fiber splitter that begins at the nose and encompasses around the sides of the body and all the way to wheels in the rear end. As for its interior design, the door panels and seats have been dressed up with a "Z" stitch pattern and the bronze trim, herringbone-weave carbon fiber and center console and headrests contain a Zagato "Z."

Compared to the V-12 engine, the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato has a horsepower of 592, which results in zero-to-60-mph time of 3.7 seconds. For American drivers, however, they will have to contend with a reduced and decentralized horsepower, with an estimate of 576, according to Car and Driver.

Car fanatics across the country will have to act quick in getting one of these, because like the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato coupe, the convertible versions will only have 99 vehicles available, with just a reduced number coming into American shores.
