Most powerful Aston Martin roadster and DP-100 for Pebble Beach

Aston Martin's new 2015 V12 Vantage S Roadster will make its global debut as part of the marque's presence at the Pebble Beach Automotive Week from 14^th August, joined by the new Design Prototype 100 (DP-100), which makes a North American debut.

The new V12 Vantage S Roadster is equipped with the latest 565bhp rated AM28 6.0-litre V12 engine, featuring state-of-the-art Bosch engine management allowing the car to reach a top speed of 323km/h, and accomplish the century sprint in just 4.1 seconds. When it arrives in markets around the world later this year, the new sports car will become the luxury British marque's most potent, fastest and fastest accelerating series production roadster to date.

Meanwhile, the DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo is developed in-house by the design team at Aston Martin, as a virtual only GT racer that is available for Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) owners to download and will be shown as a full size hand crafted model at Monterey this month.

Starting with nothing but a blank sheet of paper the design team and design engineers worked for six months - clearly pushing the boundaries of what an Aston Martin could be - to create the new addition to the Vision Gran Turismo stable of race cars. A twin-turbo V12 mid-engined racer, DP-100 offers up to 800bhp, endowing it with blistering performance fully in keeping with the high octane nature of the game.

The DP-100 will be exclusively available for viewings to customers and invited guests at the Aston Martin Estate from the 14^th to the 16^th of August where it will be joined by the V12 Vantage S Roadster, which will also lead the marque's presence at Quail: A Motorsports Gathering on the 15^th August.
