2003 Aston Martin DB AR1
This rare and highly-collectible Aston Martin was a built in partnership between Aston Martin and the Italian styling house Zagato in 2003. Known for their distinctive “double bubble” designs, this Zagato-bodied Aston is one of only 99 built. Finished in the distinctive color of Pentland Green with Light Tan leather interior, the car is breathtaking from any angle. It is a true roadster with no top. This car has had only two registered owners and less than 1,900 documented original miles from new.
Standard features are what you would expect from a modern supercar, including ABS brakes, traction control, limited slip differential and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. It also includes luxury standard features such as electronically controlled sports seats, six-speaker Becker AM/FM/CD stereo radio cassette system with 6-CD changer and air conditioning. Options ordered from the factory include 5-speed Touchtronic automatic transmission, colored brake calipers, embroidered floor mats, powerfold side mirrors, satellite navigation system, aluminum switches, and onboard fire extinguisher and first aid kit.
The Aston Martin V12 engine has an exciting exhaust note thanks to the active sports exhaust system with rear muffler bypass valves. The rare and highly sought-after automatic transmission has a manual shift mode that allows upshifts from either the floor mounted shifted or from buttons on the steering wheel. Braking is supplied by Brembo four wheel discs and the Vanquish V12 brake booster for a firm and consistent brake pedal feel.
Aston Martin and Zagato have collaborated on some iconic designs in the past, and this exceptional roadster is a beautiful example of what has become a highly collectible, limited production Aston Martin.
