Aston Martin is celebrating its centenary in world-class style with the debut of a very unique concept vehicle. Named the CC100 Speedster Concept, this car’s design concept is similar to the open top Lamborghini we saw a couple of months ago.
The body remains quite the same as any Aston Martin but the individual cockpit seats and the absence of a windshield is what makes this concept unique. Created as a stunning celebration of the brand’s 100 years of sports car excellence, the one-off CC100 looks both to the past and the DBR1 – Aston Martin’s greatest sporting triumph on the track – and to the future with its teasing glimpses of potential future design direction.
The 6.0-litre V12-powered concept car also completed a lap of the famous Nordschleife at Germany’s ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nürburgring race. It lapped the circuit together with the 1000km race-winning 1959 DBR1 with British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss at the wheel. The concept was designed and constructed in fewer than six months at Aston Martin’s global headquarters in Gaydon. The two-seater CC100 is the work of Design Director Marek Reichman working alongside the brand’s Chief Exterior Designer Miles Nurnberger.
