The features of the V12 Speedster are molded from the same advanced materials.
The V12 Speedster, developed by "Q by Aston Martin" in collaboration with designers and technicians from the brand, combines on an authentic, driver-oriented two-seater sports car with the latest technology from the fields of motorsport and aviation.
Dr. Andy Palmer, President Aston Martin Lagonda and Group Managing Director: "The result is a breathtaking driving experience for true car enthusiasts."
Memories of legendary successes
On the one hand, the design is modern and dynamic. On the other, it is clearly inspired by the legendary DBR1. It is also reminiscent of the CC100 Speedster concept presented in 2013 to mark the brand's 100th anniversary.
Aston Martin owes its most legendary motorsport triumph to date to the DBR1, which won at Le Mans in 1959. One of only three cars in the 1950s to win both the World Sports Car Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the DBR1 represented not only excellence in motorsport but also elegant design - an enduring Aston Martin hallmark.
V12 biturbo engine with 700 hp
At the heart of the car is a powerful variant of Aston Martin's now legendary 5.2-liter V12 biturbo engine, with an output of 700 hp and 700 Newton meters. The engine offers a convincing power spectrum, outstanding responsiveness and an exciting V12 sound.
The open sports car is equipped with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission mounted at the rear. The engine noise as well as the sound quality play an important role in the driving experience
