The car was developed together with British Airways, which, along with Air France, was the operator of the famous airliner.
The release of the special version of the supercar was timed to the 50th anniversary of the start of operation of the Concorde, whose first flight took place in March 1969. The order for a special series of cars came from a dealership in the English city of Bristol, where the aircraft were produced.
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Concorde received a carbon roof with graphics depicting the airliner, a special white livery in the style of British Airways aircraft, as well as Speedmarque logos on the front fenders.
In the interior, logos with the name of the special series appeared, sun visors with an image of the machmeter dial, and the ceiling was decorated with an emblem in the form of a sonic boom. The paddle shifters are made of titanium obtained from recycled turbine blades of a real Concorde.
The technical component of the supercar has not undergone changes. The Aston Martin 007 DBS Superleggera is equipped with a 5.2-liter V12 engine with two turbochargers, developing 725 hp and 900 Nm of torque. The engine works in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission ZF. The supercar is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and its maximum speed is 340 km/h.
A total of 10 examples of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Concorde will be produced. Part of the funds will go to a non-profit organization that teaches flying to children from low-income families.
