The 2022 Aston Martin V12 Speedster costs the equivalent of a million bucks and doesn't come with a roof. Or even a windshield, for that matter. It's expensive and impractical and breaks no new ground in terms of its layout, technology, or design. It's a rich person's toy, a 12-cylinder, twin-turbo plaything for people with money to burn—a pointless automotive frivolity. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Let's be real, though: With a handful of exceptions like the Ford Model T, Volkswagen Beetle, Citroën 2CV, and the original Mini, among others, the automobile has rarely been simply about rational transport. If it was, we would all drive sensible hatchbacks or multi-function minivans rather than lusting after snarling 600-horsepower performance cars or jacked-up station wagons masquerading as macho off-roaders. So, we ought to cut the 2022 Aston Martin V12 Speedster some slack. This Aston Martin is not meant to change the world; it's simply meant to be fun.
