By no means a converted road car, this was the ultimate evolution of Aston Martin\u2019s racing program, and the last of the four completely one-off \u201cDevelopment Project\u201d cars, with its sights set squarely on the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans just two months away. Ultra-lightweight, with a four-liter version of the DP212 engine set farther back in the chassis and cutting-edge wind tunnel-tested aerodynamics, the car was piloted by American ace driver Phil Hill, a three-time Le Mans-winner and the first ever American Formula 1 World Champion, paired with Belgian Grand Prix and endurance-racing veteran Lucien Bianchi. What the pair achieved is almost unfathomable, clocking a staggering 198.6 mph along the famed Mulsanne Straight\u2014becoming the first car to officially break the 300 kph barrier at Le Mans.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Monterey 2018: 1963 Aston Martin DP215 Grand Touring Competition Prototype\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gbbqVR71qnQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Monterey 2018: 1963 Aston Martin DP215 Grand Touring Competition Prototype\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gbbqVR71qnQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Following its racing career, DP215 has always enjoyed a well-documented and illustrious chain of enthusiast owners, who in later years even engaged Ted Cutting himself to consult on and approve the authenticity of the car\u2019s long-term restoration. The current owners, Neil and Nigel Corner, vintage racing drivers of considerable renown and expertise, perfected the car\u2019s restoration by reuniting DP215 with its original engine, 400\/215\/1, which was separated from the chassis very early in the car\u2019s history but is indeed the very powerplant with which Phil Hill raced at Le Mans. DP215 is expected to bring $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 when it crosses the podium at Monterey.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n

I will always remember when I asked him what his proudest achievement was during his magnificent career with Aston Martin and he replied that DP215\u2019s design and its recorded speed at Le Mans eclipsed even his pride in winning the World Sports Car Championship in 1959 with the DBR1s. This was the fastest speed ever recorded by a front engine car on the old course at Le Mans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lines of the car are absolute perfection. You can see where its outstanding maximum speed came from. What\u2019s more, its performance cannot be overemphasized &#8211; from a driving point of view, the acceleration in 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> gears always caused the hairs on the back of my hand to stand up. The car feels like a thoroughbred to drive \u2013 the steering is delightfully light, the brakes are outstanding for the era, and there\u2019s nothing quite like the bark of its incredible exhaust note. I\u2019ve driven DP215 everywhere, from rush hour traffic in the busy streets of Paris to full speed on some of the world\u2019s greatest circuits, and I can attest that its performance is unbelievable on road or track. I hope that DP215\u2019s next custodian drives and enjoys the car as much as I have.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_32-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/1963-Aston-Martin-DP215-Grand-Touring-Competition-Prototype_33-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<p>RM Sotheby\u2019s is responsible for the top-three all-time most valuable Aston Martins sold at auction, led by the 1956 Aston Martin DBR1\/1 sold at Monterey 2017 for a final $22,550,000, becoming the most valuable British car sold at auction.
