As per a recent report, Aston Martin has already sold the limited-run DBR1-inspired CC100 concept which was built to celebrate the company’s centenary.
Limited to just two units, the first at the Goodwood Festival of Speed was bought by a collector who was willing to pay as much as 500,000 GBP (around 770,000 USD or 580,000 EUR). The second and last unit has been purchased by another customer who is now waiting for his car to be built, with delivery expected to be done later this year.
The first CC100 will be part of a collection and won’t be actually used, while the second (and the last) car will be seen on public roads once it’s built and delivered to the customer. Both cars come with the same V12 6.0-liter engine connected to a six-speed automated manual gearbox. The car would be able to do 0-62 mph (0-100 kmph) sprint in around 4 seconds before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 180 mph (290 kmph).
The Aston Martin CC100 concept comes with carbon fiber bodywork which has reduced weight to less than 2,645 lbs (1,200 kg). The model is built to give tribute to the 1959 DBR1 racer and adopts a two-seat speedster configuration but with modern Aston Martin influences.
