This is really great. An old Aston, on narrow tires, handily eats the lunches of several MUCH newer and "faster", more "technologically advanced" cars (on wide modern tires) at Donnington. Porsches, Ferraris, etc. Love it.

"Lightweight," I guess the video uploaded couldn't spell "Superleggera...."

Fun looking video B)

"Superleggera" refers to the construction of the coachwork using thin-gauge alloy panels over a framework of small diameter steel tubing for support. 220px-Superleggera_logo.JPG

"Lightweight" in this case refers to a particular variant of the DB4...with a lighter chassis intended for competition and bodied primarily by Zagato with, I believe, a chassis number suffix of "L" .
