RALLIART: The Spirit Lives On

ASTON MARTIN CC100

Lead by Director of Design Marek Reichman and Chief Exterior Designer Miles Nurnberger the idea of an iconic speedster concept with nods to the Le Mans- and Nürburgring-winning cars of 1959 soon emerged.

INSPIRED BY SUCCESS
Early sketches drew clear inspiration from the legendary DBR1; open cockpit, two seats, uninhibited driver vision and flowing exterior lines from a smooth aerodynamic form. With initial themed imagery showing an overall shape with sharper, contemporary styling, the team took their ideas for CC100 and moved from paper to clay.

FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
Expert modellers worked intensively to turn these initial designs into a tangible, physical form. All Aston Martins are initially created by hand, shaping each line, measuring each dimension precisely and working to create perfect aesthetics. Finely honed to create the exact blend of sporting aggression and beauty CC100 had become more than a concept.

A UNIQUE COCKPIT
With a radical exterior in place, the team set about creating an interior befitting a true track car yet using same material artistry found on our road cars. Lightweight carbon fibre is used to provide structural rigidity but a unique weave also creates a dynamic cockpit environment. Racing seats are clothed in the finest Bridge of Weir leather but fitted with full safety harness. Glass control buttons and the same distinctive glass ECU starter match those found throughout the Aston Martin model range.

CENTENARY CELEBRATION
"The need to create a truly fitting tribute to 100 years of the Aston Martin brand has brought out the creativity and talent that makes Aston Martin such an exceptional luxury sports car maker." Aston Martin Director of Design - Marek Reichman
Earlier today the Aston Martin CC100 lead a 100 car lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife to celebrate Aston Martin's centenary year. Driven by CEO Dr Ulrich Bez the car was followed by DBR1, the iconic car which won both Le Mans and the 1000km of Nurburgring - driven by Sir Stirling Moss. Also in the parade was DB3S, DB5, One-77 and ninety-five Aston Martins from throughout the firms proud history.
