The 1958 Aston Martin DB4 is a grand tourer car that was produced by the British automaker Aston Martin from 1958 to 1963. It was the successor to the DB Mark III and was the first car to be built at Aston Martin’s new factory in Newport Pagnell, England. The car was designed by Carrozzeria Touring, an Italian coachbuilder, and is considered to be a significant car in Aston Martin’s history.
The DB4 was powered by a 3.7-liter six-cylinder engine that produced 240 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual transmission, although a three-speed automatic transmission was also offered as an option. The car featured a new platform chassis that was designed to improve handling and ride quality.
The DB4 was available in several body styles, including a two-door coupe, a convertible, and a four-door saloon. The coupe version was the most popular, and featured a sleek and elegant design that was typical of Italian coachbuilding. The DB4 also featured a range of luxury features, including leather upholstery, electric windows, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.
