Aston’s Exclusive Gem

Aston Martin DBR22: Exclusivity on Wheels

Back in 2022, Aston Martin unveiled the DBR22, turning heads with its slick design and connection to the storied Q by Aston Martin customization house. Originally a one-off celebration piece, the DBR22 caught enough eyes that Aston Martin decided to produce a mere 22 units for those few who like to collect cars as exclusive as they come. One of these beauties is up for grabs at auction this week, with expected bids ranging from $2.1 million to $2.39 million.

Specs

Under its sleek hood lies a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, belting out a massive 705 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. All this power is channeled through an eight-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Decked out in Aston Martin Racing Green, reminiscent of the Formula 1 team colors, the DBR22 looks as fast as it moves.

A Touch of Formula 1

Beyond its engine, the car features signatures that bear testimony to its racing heritage, including an autograph from two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso on the dashboard. The exterior parades exposed carbon fiber accents and a dash of lime green trim, sitting on a pair of sleek black wheels.

Driving Feel

Behind the wheel, the DBR22 doesn’t just deliver power; it offers a driving experience that’s as evocative as one might imagine. The V12’s roar is audible music for gearheads, while its performance on the open road delivers more thrills per mile than most could dream of. The car’s agility is reminiscent of Aston Martin’s historical race models, drawing parallels to their legendary DBR1 and DB3S.

Comfort Meets Performance

Inside, the cabin’s aesthetic doesn’t fall short either, lined with Forest Green leather offset by AMR Line contrast stitching. The steering wheel, gripped in black Alcantara, is a reminder of both luxury and sportiness, blending comfort with the high-energy rush that the DBR22 promises. Given all these features, it’s hardly surprising that this gem has only clocked 110 miles on the odometer.

The DBR22 is not just about stats and specs; it’s about an experience. It’s a testament to what Aston Martin excels at—combining beauty with raw power in a package that turns as many heads off the track as it would on. With a hefty price tag and exclusive production numbers, the bidding is an opportunity not just to buy a car but to own a slice of automotive history. Be sure to check out the full listing if this is the kind of dream machine that revs the inner collector’s engine.
