Aston Martin has unveiled its newest “ultra rare” ‘DBR22’ vehicle, an open-air two-sweater hypercar that incorporates modern automobile technology and design aesthetics. The car boasts minimal body panels for a muscular, futuristic look, in addition to a carbon fiber grille, horseshoe vent, aerodynamic scoops, and a full-length light bar.
Additional features include a 5.2-liter-turbocharged V12 engine, a lightweight 3D-printed aluminum rear subframe, and carbon fiber material inside the cabin. Accompanying the car’s sleek design is a set of 14-spoke 21-inch rims made exclusively for this model.
“As such DBR22 showcases Aston Martin’s unique capabilities, with world-class design combined with an agile, intelligent approach to engineering and production. For a car that was designed to celebrate the ultimate bespoke customization service, the engineering developments mean DBR22 truly has the dynamic theatre to match, ensuring the drive is just as addictive as its looks,” said Roberto Fedeli, Aston Martin’s Chief Technical Officer.
