Designed with the California weather in mind, and a Roadster in the proper tradition with no hood and space for just two people, the Aston Martin Zagato DB AR1 – or DB American Roadster 1 - was previewed by a select group of potential customers to gauge reaction. The car was so well received on its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2002, that all 99 of the proposed limited editions were purchased.
Powering the new open supercar was a developed version of Aston's state-of-the-art, 6.0-liter V12 enjoying a boost in maximum power to 435bhp, some 20 horsepower more than the DB7 Vantage. This power increase together with more torque, a revised final drive ratio and 'active' sports exhaust system produce a noticeable improvement in mid-range performance, where it is most useful in everyday driving.
Acceleration can only be described as stunning, 60mph arriving in just 4.9 seconds, while its top speed of 185mph makes the DB AR1 the world's fastest true Roadster. Above all, the DB AR1 was designed to be a true 'driver's car', equally at home on the autobahn or challenging back road. This is a car that beckons you to look for places to go.
Restraining this superlative high performance are equally exalted brakes: Brembo racing-style grooved discs - 335mm at the front, 330mm at the rear - gripped by alloy four-pot calipers assisted by an improved brake booster unit and moderated by Teves ABS. Power is transmitted to the road via a limited-slip differential to special multi-spoke 19" alloy wheels (8"/9.5" F/R) incorporating revised offset to give a wider track, shod with low profile Yokohama tires.
As one would expect of a modern supercar, there was electronic traction control and power-assisted rack and pinion steering, while the well-appointed interior boasted electrically controlled sports seats, six-speaker Becker stereo radio cassette system with 6-CD changer, and alarm/immobilizer with remote central locking and boot release.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This stunningly well-preserved example of the rare Aston Martin DB AR1 Zagato Roadster is the 90th of just 99 examples ever produced and has had the privilege of remaining under single ownership until recently, while occurring just 126 miles, as recorded on the odometer at the time of cataloging. The Italian crafted, Peacock Blue Zagato body work appears largely flawless throughout, and the Pacific Blue and Soft White leather interior presents in equally showroom fresh condition. Underneath the bonnet lurks the 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 435bhp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
This Aston is loaded with features including full 'Bridge of Weir' leather interior, heated power door mirrors, power windows, six speaker stereo radio cassette with six-disc CD autochanger, electronically controlled front seats with lumbar support, red colored brake calipers and Roadster alloy wheels. Furthermore, the DB AR1 is offered with original accessories, including car cover, Aston Martin leather jacket, battery trickle charger, owner's manual and trunk-mounted umbrellas.
The partnership of Zagato and Aston Martin is truly one of the most endearing and coveted combinations in the automotive world. A soaring V12 motor, curvaceous lines, and wind in your hair could not make for a better driving experience. Do not miss this opportunity to get behind the wheel of this modern collectible.
