Hmm...first impression, I don't love it. I prefer the reguar V12 model. It looks like they melded it with a Bentley. And I wish they had kept the ducktail spoiler. Hood vents are good and I like the rear splitter.

Very Nissan looking. I don't like it at all.

Tahoe, I thought about the bentley as well looking at the back quarter piece.. But I do like it. Hopefully it will break the 550 hp level.

I'm wondering what the price point will be. I suppose over $200k?

The wheels are simply atrocious to the point it colors my whole view of the car.

Bentley in the back ?? No way. It has those recessed 458 Italia lights. And it can't have a rear ducktail, since it wouldn't fit the Zagato 'look' like all the other AM Zagatos. They should have made it more like the DB7 Zagato.

I was about the say ... those wheels are straight off a Lambo/R8 haha. I do like the design although they are starting to stray away a bit more from the typical aston look (for better or worse).

Haha, there is like 9 different car designs in that car. The rear also looks like a 458 with the one set of circle lights . The Roof is Nissan Skyline GTR ... There are some Alfa 8c styling cues. The hood is a bit Ford GT ... I doubt the real one will look like that but it is funny to look at and see all the different styling cues.

I agree with the Nissan looking. Like the car from the windshield forward but not so much from there back. Good to see them trying to bring something different out though. As much as I like the existing models, it might be time for something new. Just my opinion though.

Not the Grill!
The best part of "Distinctive" Aston look is the signature grill. By taking away the wide flat bottom of the grill bottom, it becomes less Aston....and in my biased opinion, not as classy. Muscley yes, Aston Classy no.

Different good, I agree with. Nice to see that they are trying..........

This is different bad, IMHO. It's like a whole freeway worth of brands, all on one chassis.

Must have been designed by committee..........
