It can be hard to keep up with the dizzying choice of go-faster Aston Martins, so decoding the naming convention helps here: the DBR22 leans heavily on the in-house archive, with shades of the historic DBR1 and DB3S racers from the 1950s, as well as hints of the more recentLike its historic forefathers , the DBR22 has a tiny lip for a windscreen and no roof whatsoever, speaking volumes about its intended target market…It’s not just about those dramatic looks: the DBR22’s carbonfibre bodywork...
Roberto Fedeli, Aston Martin’s new chief technical officer, revealed that the DBR22’s rear subframe was 3D printed – a first for the brand.
