The Aston Martin V12 Speedster has a top speed of 198 mph.
Aston Martin introduced the V12 Speedster as an open-top, two-seat performance car with no conventional roof or windscreen. Its design drew inspiration from historic Aston Martins, including the 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1 and the 1953 DB3S, while its structure and technology were closely related to the modern DBS Superleggera and Vantage.
Power comes from a 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 producing about 700 bhp and 753 Nm of torque. Aston Martin quoted acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in approximately 3.4 seconds, followed by a limited top speed of 198 mph. The limit reflects the car’s extreme open-cockpit character as well as its performance positioning.
The 198-mph figure is often confused with the higher top speeds of related Aston Martin models such as the DBS Superleggera or DB11 AMR. The V12 Speedster was also a strictly limited model, with production capped at 88 examples worldwide.
