Yes, we know that we've shown you this car a bunch of times already, but we just can't get enough of it. The CC100 is built by Aston Martin on its 100th birthday and tributes the famous DBR1 race car.
This prototype is based on the V12 Vantage, but not a single body panel is left untouched. Aston managed to put it together in less than six months and got it ready for its moving debut at Goodwood 2013. As you can see, it's running perfectly and sounds better than any soulless modern supercar ever could.
"CC100 is the epitome of everything that is great about Aston Martin. It represents our fantastic sporting heritage, our exceptional design capability, our superb engineering know- how and, above all, our adventurous spirit! I have nicknamed it 'DBR100' because of its affinity to the great 1959 race-winning cars and, of course, our 100-year anniversary in 2013. But this car is more, even, than a simple 'birthday present' to ourselves: it shows that the soul of Aston Martin – the thing that differentiates us from all the other carmakers out there – is as powerful as ever,” said Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
