Today's episode of Jay Leno's Garage features one of the coolest concept cars from 2013. If you want a car that restores your faith in the British auto industry, this is probably it. The CC100, a one-off concept, pays tribute to the past while also looking at the future.
The CC100 was launched this year because 2013 marks the centenary of the Aston Martin brand. But company CEO Ulrich Bez points out, they are among the few cars in the world that is still independent and makes bespoke cars.
We know the CC100 is similar to the other V12 Astons, but what is it like to drive? Well, the wind in your face changes your whole perspective of speed and acceleration. Having no windows is fantastic, Leno says, adding that it's like a tailored suit built to somebody's specification. Basically, Jay explains that this is one of the few concepts that lives up to the hype.
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.
