FactDue to debut a day earlier at Geneva, it never got the chance: the 2020 show was cancelled for COVID-19 first.
Introduced in March 2020, the V12 Speedster is a roofless, windscreen-less production car inspired by the 1950s DBR1 and the 2013 CC100 concept. It uses a version of the Vantage Roadster's bonded aluminium chassis with the front structure of the DBS Superleggera grafted on to fit its 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, which drives a ZF eight-speed gearbox. Helmet pods sit behind the seats. Aston Martin produced 88 at a base price of $950,000.

This was the year the Virage's automatic finally got a fourth gear — Aston swapped in a four-speed automatic to replace the original three-speed unit for the 1993 model year.
Audi's first drop-top since 1959 barely made a dent stateside: the V6 Cabriolet sold just 5,445 units across its entire five-year run in the US market.
This Azure's V8 exists because of a corporate grudge: when VW won the fight for Bentley, BMW threatened to cut off engine supply — forcing VW to rebuild the 6.75-litre V8 itself, twin-turbos and all.
Bentley never even considered a roll-bar for the Azure's convertible top — they just reinforced the chassis instead and let the design stay pure.
The F8 Spider's folding hardtop raises or lowers in just 14 seconds, and you can do it on the move, at up to 28 mph.
Bentley hid a charging nook for iPads between the rear seats of the Continental GT Convertible — a 2015 update that quietly conceded the future was tablets, not just wood veneer.
Bentley built just 710 of these second-generation Supersports worldwide, coupe and convertible combined — one of the rarest W12 Bentleys ever made.
The Auburn Twelve's V12 outlived the car by decades — its engine design became the basis for American LaFrance fire truck powerplants that stayed in service into the 1950s.
