Aston Martin is celebrating its 100 year history by launching the CC100 Speedster Concept.
The Speedster was designed and constructed in less than six months (but actually it took a 100 years to build) at Aston Martin’s global headquarters in Gaydon. The body and interior are crafted from carbon-fibre by Multimatic.
The two-seater was penned by Design Director Marek Reichman with some assistance from Chief Exterior Designer Miles Nurnberger.
Like most other Astons these days, the Concept is powered by a AM11 naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12-powered mated to a six-speed hydraulically actuated automated sequential manual transmission. The Speedster will get from 0 to 100 km/h in a little over 4 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 290 km/h.
The concept car made its world debut by completing a lap of the famous Nordschleife at Germany’s ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nürburgring race along with 1000km race-winning 1959 DBR1 with British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss at the wheel.
It measures almost 4.5 metre in length and is more than 2 metre wide ear to ear.
