Aston Martin appears to be on a roll this 2021. For the past few months, the prestigious British marque has been grabbing headlines with exciting announcements. Among these, the luxury automaker is going roofless and calling it the V12 Speedster DBR1. Owners should really pay attention to the weather forecast before cruising in this sleek beauty. Nevertheless, even when at a standstill, it is a stunning sight to behold.
For those closely following the Aston Martin’s rich motorsports legacy, a part of its namesake is paying homage to the legendary DBR1 race car. With a remarkable list of podium finishes in various tracks and competitions, this is a wonderful toast to its achievements.
Only 88 examples of this insanely exclusive supercar are heading for production. No doubt collectors are already lining up for a chance of filling up that empty spot in their massive garages.
