Check Out the New ASTON MARTIN V12 SPEEDSTER! | FIRST LOOK

This is Aston Martin's brand new V12 Speedster! A stunning open 2-seat hypercar limited to just 88 units at a cost of £765,000 each from the team at Aston Martin Q. The V12 Speedster squeezes the 5.2l Twin Turbo V12 from the DBS into a Vantage chassis, and will create a special driving experience as a result. What do you think?

Visiting the home of Aston Martin in Gaydon, UK, it's almost a mini-motorshow with the new cars on display including the DBX from Q, new Vantage Roadster and the Valhalla sporting a new appearance in orange. The highlight to me though is of course the new V12 Speedster, a beautiful and incredibly limited model inspired by the F/A 18 Hornet fighter jet.

Based on the chassis and platform of the new Vantage, the V12 Speedster also squeezes in the V12 making 700hp and 753nm which with the 8spd ZF auto makes for a 3.5s sprint to 100km/h (62mph) and a top speed of 300km/h (186mph). Visually it's striking, with additional openings for cooling at the front of an elongated bonnet and lack of windscreen. The seats are cocooned inside the cabin which itself is loaded with fighter jet inspirations. Behind the cabin sits the rear buttresses that house the carbon fibre helmets above a carbon fibre lined storage area.

It's undeniably good-looking, but is there space in the market that's becoming congested with both the Ferrari SP1 and SP2 Monza, and McLaren's recently launched Elva? Time will tell.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Aston Martin have created something wonderful with the new V12 Speedster! Based on the platform of the Vantage, with the V12 from the DBS, and a glorious cabin inspired by the F/A 18 Hornet, could it get any better?! Only 88 will be made at a cost of £765, 000 each.

James May: “it’s pointless because it doesn’t have a windshield!”

SLR Stirling Moss still looks pretty fresh compared to the mozna and speedster

C8: we split the driver away from passenger

That was a feast for the eyes, all those beautiful Aston-Martins sitting there just waiting for someone to take them out on a nice twisty road. I also enjoyed the quick look at the DBX! Great video, thanks!

The floating panel dividing the driver and passenger will split their heads when taking sharp turns

Omg when you reminded me of the one 77 I started drooling over it again. So many Austin Martin cars that I love. It's one car company that has actually made more cars that I love then don't love. The styling, The performance, The performance, The engineering, of the Austin Martin's are always on point. Cuz when you have all the you don't need to be the fastest. Cuz honestly who really needs to go over 200 on the streets, hell even 150 is fast enough for the streets.
If I ever run into money and think I can afford any kind of a special car. First ones I'd be looking at is a Austin Martin....

Few words: Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss

Love the way this looks, if it had a manual plus the naturally aspirated 6.0L V12 it would've been ace!

Aston Martin are getting better and better 👌When you was sitting in the speedster could you see the entertainment screen clearly or was that divider in between the drivers seat and the passenger seat in the way.
