An ultra-rare Aston Martin V12 Speedster, one of only 88 units produced and one of just 12 in right-hand drive, is up for auction. This particular model, a 2021 V12 Speedster, is being offered by Bonhams Cars and is expected to fetch over $1.1 million.
The V12 Speedster is a standout in the Aston Martin lineup, designed by the bespoke “Q by Aston Martin” team. It combines elements from the DBS Superleggera and Vantage models to create a unique, unfiltered driving experience. Inspired by the 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1 and the 2013 CC100 concept car, the V12 Speedster features bold design elements such as a prominent front grille, fender louvres, and a tail light-integrated spoiler. The car sits on forged 21-inch center-lock wheels and is powered by a 5.2-liter V12 engine, producing 700 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. This power enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
Finished in a striking 1950s Racing Green, this Speedster has been sparingly driven with only 325 miles on the odometer. Having had just two previous owners, it has primarily been displayed as an art piece. The auction package includes a V12 Speedster helmet, a V5C document, a car cover, a battery charger, and comprehensive paint protection, ensuring that this rare vehicle remains in pristine condition for its next owner.
