DESIGNER: Fabrizio Giugiaro
A theme on which Giorgetto Giugiaro had tried his hand before, for example in the 1982 Capsula concept and the 1998 Structura. The name Twenty Twenty recalls the way of reading the year 2020 in the English language: in fact, with this car it was intended to show what an Aston Martin of the near future might look like. The structure was produced entirely of aluminum alloy and incorporates the housings for the outer panels of the actual body, made of carbon fiber and plastic material. These panels do not flank each other, but leave clear spaces so that the visual effect offered by the exposed areas of the body can also be appreciated. In this way, the structure of the Twenty Twenty also becomes a styling element. A sturdy roll bar, also made of aluminum, is mounted at the rear of the passenger compartment. In contrast to many concept cars, the Twenty Twenty is a fully functioning car: its heart is the 5935 cm³ Aston Martin V12, with maximum power raised to 500 hp.
