It's awesome! Looks brutal compared to the 550GTS, which is more stylish.
Do they really need all those ducts and vents? Compared to other top class GT runners it's got quite a few holes. |

How can you say the 550GTS is more stylish?

well if u look at the rear wing of the aston it's virtually the same as the 550. and the fender flares are very similar to the 550. after all same company and if the same style fenders and wongs worked so well on teh 550 why change them on the aston. the car does look meaner than the 550. especially with that huge grill. basically it says MOVE B!&%#, GET OUT OF THE WAY, i'm coming through. now i wonder what drivers they will have for it. i say they should use alain menu, david brabham, rikard rydell, darren turner, karl wendigler, and jaime camphell walter

Could I also put the names of Perry McCarthey and Damon Hill into the frame remember they are both very good mates of Blundell and Brundle.

I'd like to see him in Sportscar (and Le Mans again), but I'm not sure Damon is really up for it. ooops, sorry a little OT.

Adam, you may be able to see the Prodrive influence if you take a look at this pic from the Care Racing site. This is a similar pic to the ones released today for the DBR9.

Good lord that's beautiful. Those Prodrive guys are at the top of the list as far as designing sportscars go. Everything they put together is absolutely golden.
I want one! |

I see that the head of Aston Martin is a certain Dr Bez, I hope it just isn't me who gets the following image in their head:

Fingers crossed it goes as well as it looks.
I guess it has been built to the ACO rules as its only due to run at Sebring & Le Mans + a few times later TBC. Therefore will it compete against the MC12 next year? Some of the aero aids look a bit exposed to the curbs for a 24 hr race. |
