Aston Martin DBR22

2022 announced; deliveries reported in 2023

  • 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12

The open-cockpit DBR22 progressed from its 2022 concept to a factory limited series, with deliveries confirmed in Aston Martin’s 2023 annual report.

Ownership overview

Verify the individual Q build record, registration or road approval, and authorised support arrangements. Factory-reported series deliveries do not establish that all 22 allocated cars were delivered, or that another Aston Martin’s workshop procedures apply.

Q build specification, individual road approval and support

DBR22 was unveiled as a design concept in 2022 and developed into a factory Q limited series. Aston Martin’s FY2022 results specify a sold-out 22-unit allocation, and its 2023 annual report confirms DBR22 deliveries that year. The open-cockpit carbon-fibre body and launch-specified 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 distinguish it from regular production convertibles. Verify the individual Q build record, registration or road approval, and authorised support arrangements. Factory-reported series deliveries do not establish that all 22 allocated cars were delivered, or that another Aston Martin’s workshop procedures apply.

Availability: Factory series deliveries are reported in the 2023 annual report. The 22-unit figure is the allocation stated in FY2022 results, not a verified total of cars completed or delivered; individual road approval and current support still require confirmation.

Best use cases

  • Collection and open-cockpit road use where the individual vehicle’s approval and support arrangements are confirmed

Strengths

  • Bespoke open-cockpit carbon-fibre bodywork and manufacturer launch-specified V12 powertrain
  • Factory limited-series identity and 2023 deliveries supported by later manufacturer financial disclosures

What to watch

  • Verify the individual Q build record, registration or road approval, and authorised support arrangements. Factory-reported series deliveries do not establish that all 22 allocated cars were delivered, or that another Aston Martin’s workshop procedures apply.
  • Confirm the individual coachbuilt specification and current vehicle-specific service programme; no maintenance intervals or reliability record are inferred from launch or financial-report evidence.
Aston Martin DBR22 Known IssuesNo DBR22-specific defect has been established in this guide. Empty issue coverage is a documentation limit, not proof that delivered cars are fault-free; manufacturer production and delivery evidence does not establish defect frequency.Aston Martin DBR22 Maintenance guidanceMaintenance and support planning for the DBR22 factory limited series, with deliveries reported in 2023. A vehicle-specific factory replacement schedule is not reproduced here.

Sources and research

The August and September 2022 sources describe the original concept. Later FY2022 results specify the 22-unit sold-out allocation, the 2023 annual report confirms DBR22 deliveries, and the April 2024 factory release lists it as an exclusive limited-edition product. These establish production-series evidence beyond the concept announcement, not an exact delivered total, individual homologation, fault frequency or maintenance intervals.

Frequently asked questions

Does this guide describe only the 2022 design concept?

No. It distinguishes the concept unveiling from the later factory limited series. Aston Martin’s 2023 annual report, printed pages 32 and 38, confirms DBR22 deliveries and includes it among limited-edition models.

Were all 22 DBR22s delivered?

The FY2022 results describe a sold-out 22-unit allocation, and the 2023 report confirms deliveries. These sources do not give an exact completed or delivered DBR22 total.

Can I use another Aston Martin’s workshop procedures?

Only when the procedure expressly covers the actual DBR22 build, equipment and authorised service programme. A shared V12 or factory-series classification does not establish applicability.
