The striking new DBR22 is an ultra speedster exclusive and highly strung tribute to Aston Martin's legendary 1950s race cars, built to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the company's bespoke division, Q by Aston Martin.
The DBR22 design concept, which is making its public debut at Monterey Car Week in California, is the latest in a line of radical, low-volume V12 creations out of Gaydon's Q branch, following the likes of the Vulcan, Vantage V600 and one-off Victor.
Over the past decade, Q has evolved into an integral part of Aston's operations, handling not just the launch of high-margin halo cars such as these but also add-ons for standard Aston models through Q Collection and enhanced personalisation opportunities through Q Commission.
Aston has called the DBR22 "a perfect celebration" of the division's potential, in that it blends traditional coachbuilding practices with "cutting-edge" manufacturing technology in a package that is at once one of Aston's most powerful cars and one of its rarest.
