V12 Speedster

No roof, no screen

Overview

A 12-month route to an open V12

Aston Martin confirmed the 88-car programme in January 2020 and unveiled the production design in March. Q by Aston Martin and the design team combined existing Vantage and DBS hardware with a bespoke open carbon body.

The launch specification used a Boeing F/A-18 reference and Skyfall Silver paint. A DBR1 treatment followed in April 2021, linking Racing Green, white roundels and saddle leather to Aston Martin's 1959 Le Mans winner.

Pricing started at £765'000 including VAT. Several public offerings failed to sell before Collecting Cars reported the first completed auction sale in October 2025: $420'500 for a 355-km car in a two-tone white and orange specification.
