Aston Martin Teases V12 Speedster

Aston Martin has teased a limited-edition open-top supercar.

The V12 Speedster, as the name suggests, is powered by the 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 motor developing around 510 kW and 700 Nm. Power will go the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox supplied by ZF.

There'll be just 88 units available for the global market and we expect it to be a rival to the recently-announced McLaren Elva and the Ferrari Monza SP1. However, unlike the single-seat Ferrari, this Aston will feature 2 seats.

Expect a full reveal of this vehicle at some point in 2020, with deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2021.
