This is the Aston Martin DB AR1, a rare and special breed of car, limited to just 99 units worldwide. Designed by Zagato, this manual-transmission beauty is currently up for grabs at an auction on Cars and Bids. With its roofless design tailored for the American market, this V12-powered roadster is a true standout in the Aston Martin lineup. The bodywork on this car is a work of art, with unique panels and distinctive rear lighting that set it apart from its DB7 roots.
Under the hood lies a handbuilt 5.9L V12 engine, delivering power and performance befitting of such a special machine. The interior is a mix of classic Aston Martin charm and quirky features, like the absence of a traditional glove box. Instead, you'll find the warning lights placed above the gauge cluster, adding to the car's unique character. The circular key shaft and chassis number plaque further emphasize the exclusivity of the DB AR1.
From the Z logo on the side to the large front grille, every detail of this car screams luxury and sophistication. The tilting steering column and labeled controls add a touch of old-school charm to the driving experience. With its distinct design elements and limited production numbers, the Aston Martin DB AR1 is a collector's dream come true. So, if you're in the market for a truly special and rare piece of automotive history, this might just be the car for you.
