Aston Martin have unveiled a radical concept car at the Nürburgring in Germany, created as part of the British sports car company’s 100th anniversary.
Recent additions to the Aston range have not departed too far from the signature design lines of cars such as the Vanquish. But the new concept car, called the CC100, gives more than a nod to much older cars. Its design aesthetic comes particularly from the DBR1, the iconic vehicle that won the 1959 Le Mans and Nürburgring races.
The car was designed and built in Aston Martin’s Gaydon HQ in Warwickshire, where a special team was given complete design freedom. The entire process took just 6 months to complete.
As well as helping to mark the centenary of Aston Martin, which started building sports cars in 1913, the CC100 gives us an exciting glimpse of how Aston Martin may move forward with their designs.
Nürburgring unveiling
The Nürburgring remains a very testing circuit, worthy of a sports car with a pedigree like Aston Martin’s. Regarded as one of the most dangerous tracks in Europe, the only motor breakdown advice for anyone trying their luck there is to drive a car as capable as an Aston Martin.
The CC100 can reach 62mph in a little more than 4.0 seconds from standstill, and has a top speed of 180mph.
