The DBR22 is a speedster type supercar, which, apart from the open roof, has also been deprived of the windshield, gaining instead built-in headrests of the driver's and passenger's seats, which smoothly connect with the body shape.[3] The aggressive styling features numerous flowing lines and muscular wheel arches, as well as a large front air intake. The details of the car refer to the serial Aston Martin designs, but at the same time it is a completely unique stylistic project created from scratch.[4]
The DBR22 inherits the 5.2-litre V12 engine from the DBS Superleggera and the V12 Speedster and is mated to the ZF8 eight-speed automatic transmission.[5] With that transmission it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 198mph (319km/h).[6][7] Carbon fiber was used to make the DBR22 structure, while the frame supporting the suspension was created as a result of 3D printers.[8] This technology allowed to significantly reduce the total weight of the car without sacrificing rigidity.[9]
The Aston Martin DBR22 is limited to 22 examples only, hence the name. Costing £1.5 million before taxes.[10]
