I literally just left my test drive. Still amazing. Unreal torque and power. I took a friend who is a multiple Lambo owner for a impartial opinion. He was also impressed with refinement and power. As for the Carbon, the quality is fantastic, just like a Lambo or a Ferrari. If it's a problem, the hood can be painted like the race cars. The other solution is to pick a color like meteorite or Quantum. Then the Carbon fades away. As for the wheels, I like the look and finish. The gray shadowing, works great with dark cars. Once you've driven the car a bit, the exterior carbon and wheels become a bit of an afterthought. If they are the reason that you don't buy this car, you're missing out on the experience of a V12 in a car the size of a boxster. My car is due sometime in November. It's going to be a tough 2 months.

 

I need to make new friends. ; D, off topics here, but I wouldn’t mind to get into 1/8 scale, costly hobby, but worth every penny.

 

bad@ss car!

 

wish i had the means to be in the market for a V12V! definitely my "if only" dream car.

 

VERY Nice! Do you have any close up pictures of the emblem?

 

The car looks really good, but those wheels kill it for me. How can Aston make such beautiful cars, and such an ugly wheel?

 

I agree. Wheels are fugly.

 

So would I.....

We'll get our hands on one sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. Some other good news is that the 2010-onwards AM's seem to be using a different type of ECU to the prior cars. This ECU should allow us full write-access, which means that an ECU remap should be able to achieve the kind of gains we see on the 4.3L across the board.
