nice, but way too 'letter-box' sides for me...

(actually, drove a Jag F coupe and it's the same problem, seems to be a design thing these days?)

You mean the side windows?

Yeah - does seem to be a thing. I think the side effect of getting them to look rakish, whilst also needing A pillars that have to be able to hold up a freight train. Thanks again, type approval regs...

That is a thing of beauty. I doubt it in the real world, it would sit quite as low the ground.

The other factor leading to the letter box windows is the side impact safety,... IMHO. Give it a few years and the latest models really will look like post boxes.

Lovely looking but the back end is a bit long making the car look out of balance, only the black car looks like that I noticed. Unmistakably Aston though.

Gorgeous, it does look a wee bit like its melting though.

288GTO or F40 for the most beautiful car ever penned for me though... Or maybe a nice classic impreza with a bodykit and some stickers :mrgreen:

Not sure I agree.
From the front it looks like a cross eyed guppy to me.

Stunning, but it's a styling exercise by some one unconnected to Aston.

That's very very far from a working prototype. Bonnet vents and (huge) side gills might be very AML styling features, but they're not a lot of use on a mid-rear engined car. :lol:

Very pretty sketch though. Apart from the nose. And the overall front-rear balance. And the shape of the rear diffuser area. And the not-quite-right Evora pinch. And those exhaust tips. And the chrome. And the tacky LED rain-light. And the wheel sizes.

Still, the rear lights, they're very good!

Does anyone think that orange car might actually be a clay model? Does that imply that this didn't get thrown out by the first engineer who saw it?
EDIT: Looked more closely. Not a clay model, pure photoshop. So this won't be built in any form. :(
