The Aston Martin DBR22 draws inspiration from the iconic DBR1 and DB3S open-cockpit sports cars. It has been designed in-house at Q by Aston Martin. The car features a completely new body created from a minimal number of body panels. The front grille incorporates a unique carbon fibre design, while the bonnet features a horseshoe vent seen on recent models like the V12 Vantage.

At the heart of the Aston Martin DBR22 is a 5.2-liter V12 twin-turbo engine that produces 715 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. Aston claims that the monstrous motor catapults the car from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and to a top speed of 198 mph.
