To help celebrate its 100th anniversary, Aston Martin is set to reveal a concept car that looks as though it will take its inspiration from the DBR1 race car.

As of now, the British brand has only released a video teasing the concept, which will be fully unveiled on Sunday, May 19, at an event taking place at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring endurance race.

Based on the teaser, the concept will be a small roadster, though it is expected to be built on the same platform as the V12 Vantage. Two of the cars are said to be in production; one to celebrate the centenary and one to celebrate Sir Stirling Moss’ victory at the 1959 Nürburgring endurance race.

    If it is indeed built on the same platform as the V12 Vantage, then really, they can do no wrong. Hopefully :)
