It all began with the Ferrari SP1 and SP2 and later spread to the recently revealed McLaren Elva. Ultra-exclusive, windshield-lacking and roofless supercars are back, reigniting a design trait that originated with some of the most iconic race cars in history. We previously learned Aston Martin wanted to join this special supercar club and today there's official confirmation. The UK carmaker has announced its new V12 Speedster, a two-seater honoring the brand's 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1 and the 2013 CC100 Speedster Concept.

Only a single teaser image has been released for now, but Aston Martin has provided some initial details.
