The DB AR1 is a 2003 open-top Zagato-bodied special built on the DB7 Vantage Volante platform, powered by a 6.0L V12 producing about 435 hp. Commissioned by Aston Martin's US dealer network and limited to 99 cars, it was built in Italy and finished in Britain. Its styling, with no roof or windscreen header rail and twin roll hoops, sets it apart from every other DB7 derivative.
A genuine Zagato-penned, Aston-badged limited run, it represents one of the most visually dramatic and rarest cars to emerge from the Ford-era Aston Martin. Its V12 and manual or automatic choice, combined with a unique speedster-like format and the Zagato heritage, give it enduring cultural weight among collectors.
