The DB AR1 was designed by the world’s leading coach builders and design house Zagato; whose historical connection with Aston Martin dates to the 1960’s with the first special bodied Aston Martin being the iconic DB4 GT Zagato. The DB AR1 (standing for American Roadster 1) was introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2003. It is based on the DB7 Vantage Volante and features a unique body designed by Zagato in collaboration with Henrik Fisker. Only 99 examples were produced for sale, though Aston Martin built one additional example for their own factory collection. They were only offered for the U.S. market.
The DB AR1 uses the 5.9 litre, 48-valve, V12 engine from the DB7 producing 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) at 6000 rpm and 410 lb⋅ft (556 N⋅m) of torque at 5000 rpm. It has a top speed of 185 mph (298 km/h) and a 0–60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of 4.9 seconds.
Our Example is number 9 of the 99 built and has covered 4500 miles from new and features the desirable 6 speed manual gearbox option. Finished in Aston Martins very own racing green with Parchment leather, it comes complete with all the factory handbooks, literature and the correct rare limited DBAR1 leather jacket.
