01 / THE STORY
History & context
Introducing the Aston Martin Twenty Twenty, a groundbreaking creation designed for the year 2020, marking the iconic British luxury carmaker’s foray into the world of open-topped vehicles. This masterpiece draws inspiration from Italdesign‘s earlier concepts, the Capsula (1982) and the Structura (1998), which utilized innovative structural designs as dominant aesthetic features. In the Twenty Twenty, the architectural elements serve a dual purpose, seamlessly blending technological aesthetics with structural integrity. Crafted entirely in aluminum, the exposed structures become a captivating visual motif that not only enhances the car’s aesthetic appeal but also plays a pivotal role in its technical prowess. Unlike conventional designs, where body parts often conceal the underlying engineering, the Twenty Twenty proudly showcases its intricate components, highlighting the fusion of form and function. The beauty of the Twenty Twenty lies not only in its striking appearance but also in the engineering precision visible to the naked eye. The aluminum structures, serving as both an aesthetic and load-bearing feature, dictate the vehicle’s pace and route directly, creating an unparalleled driving experience. Building upon the legacy of the DB7, the Twenty Twenty boasts a formidable mechanical configuration. This convertible marvel is equipped with a 12-cylinder mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, 6-speed transmission, and a powerful 5935 cc engine generating a remarkable 500 horsepower. The direct lineage from the DB7 ensures a seamless transition of excellence and performance, providing enthusiasts with a driving experience that combines the thrill of speed with the elegance that defines Aston Martin. Furthermore, the Twenty Twenty breaks away from conventional design norms by utilizing extruded aluminum for structural sections. This departure from traditional reflective surfaces allows the lines and modulations to be traced by the structural components themselves, showcasing a unique interplay of light and form. The Aston Martin Twenty Twenty is part of the Giugiaro Collection.
