sports car excellence the one-off CC100 looks both to the past and the DBR1 \u2013 Aston Martin\u2019s greatest sporting triumph on the track \u2013 and to the future with its teasing glimpses of potential future design direction.<\/p>\n<p>The 6.0-litre V12-powered concept car today makes its world debut by completing a lap of the famous Nordschleife at Germany\u2019s ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of N\u00fcrburgring race. It is lapping the circuit together with the 1000km race-winning 1959 DBR1 with British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss at the wheel. It is the most tangible expression yet of the brand\u2019s year-long 2013 centenary celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>Viewed by tens of thousands of lucky spectators in Germany, the radical speedster is being driven today by Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez. He said: \u201cCC100 is the epitome of everything that is great about Aston Martin. It represents our fantastic sporting heritage, our exceptional design capability, our superb engineering know-how and, above all, our adventurous spirit!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nicknamed it \u2018DBR100\u2019 because of its affinity to the great 1959 race-winning cars and, of course, our 100-year anniversary in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this car is more, even, than a simple \u2018birthday present\u2019 to ourselves: it shows that the soul of Aston Martin \u2013 the thing that differentiates us from all the other car makers out there \u2013 is as powerful as ever and I very much hope that everyone who catches a glimpse of it at the N\u00fcrburgring today enjoys seeing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Designed and constructed in fewer than six months at Aston Martin\u2019s global headquarters in Gaydon, working with key supplier Multimatic Inc, under the leadership of Special Projects and Motorsport Director David King, the finished look of the two-seater CC100 is the work of Design Director Marek Reichman working alongside the brand\u2019s Chief Exterior Designer Miles Nurnberger.<\/p>\n<p>Miles explained: \u201cThe brief was very simple, yet enormously testing: create something that reflects the 100 years of Aston Martin heritage and signals the future of the brand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of an iconic speedster concept that nods to the Le Mans- and N\u00fcrburgring-winning cars of 1959 soon came, and we have had complete freedom to shape this car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marek Reichman said: \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the entire team at Gaydon for creating this remarkable sports car concept in such a short time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need to create a truly fitting tribute to 100 years of the Aston Martin brand has brought out the creativity and talent that makes Aston Martin such an exceptional luxury sports car maker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Measuring almost four and a half metres nose to tail, and more than two metres wide (including mirrors) the Speedster Concept body is a classic example of the almost infinitely flexible nature of Aston Martin\u2019s trademark Vertical Horizontal engineering philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>With a body and interior crafted from carbon fibre, tooled and provided by low volume specialists Multimatic, the CC100 utilises the latest generation AM11 naturally aspirated V12 gasoline engine mated to a six-speed hydraulically actuated automated sequential manual transmission. Controlled via steering column-mounted paddle shifts the lightweight \u2018box delivers truly sporting changes perfectly suited to the Speedster\u2019s track-focused nature.<\/p>\n<p>The drivetrain will power the CC100 from rest to 62 mph in a little over four seconds, while the top speed is limited to 180 mph.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Bez added: \u201cThe future of Aston Martin is, very clearly, more exciting now than perhaps at any time in its history and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the excitement and anticipation that CC100 creates among Aston Martin owners and enthusiasts worldwide.\u201d (<em>Ufficio Stampa Aston Martin Worldwide<\/em>).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1947\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1947\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/asm00264.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1947\" title=\"Aston Martin\u2019s radical CC100 Speedster Concept \" src=\"http:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/asm00264-1000x625.jpg\" alt=\"Aston Martin\u2019s radical CC100 Speedster Concept\" width=\"960\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/asm00264-1000x625.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/asm00264-620x387.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1947\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aston Martin\u2019s radical CC100 Speedster Concept<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Martin is celebrating its centenary in world-class style with the debut today (19 May 2013) of the exceptional CC100 [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[332,10,11],"tags":[333],"class_list":["post-5579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aston-martin","category-automotive","category-gallery-automotive","tag-aston-martin","clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5579"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5585,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5579\/revisions\/5585"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drivelife.it\/pics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
