Ahh you're right, regardless I absolute love it

I definitely believe these radical designs that come out on a lot of cars more often than not, don't age that well and begin to look dated as "extremeness" in design from competitors increases

It's why the current AM lineup has been able to look beautiful/relevant for over a decade, I'm predicting the same won't hold true for their 2nd century lineup

Choppy CF is "forged carbon" (the term coined by Lamborghini). Anything not weave carbon is "forged"

I guess we know who had the trademark to Supelegerra now, Lambo had to give up the name for trademark reasons (which is why all coupes and spiders are now Performante instead of Supelegerra for coupes etc)

You should tell that to AM. The interior CF is either weave or chopped. The external badges and a few other trim items (like the lettering on the back) are available in forged carbon, which looks nothing like the chopped CF. They are made with an entirely different process.

This is from Aston Martin Dover St ... grabbed the pic from facebook posting. Looks stunning in this color .. the color and finish dominate the sh**ty grill.

btw 700hp is a vanquish/dbs/v12v with full exhaust intake and tune and a hell of a lot more exciting and passionate performance than any FI 700hp car even with 100lbs more tq.

A big +1, the seven speed trans from the last Vantage V12 stick would be a cool no cost option.

Silly question maybe but
1. with that torque & Hp how long would a clutch last in a manual and,

2. given that the gearbox is controlled (as I understand) to limit torque in first & second gears to avoid wheelspin how would they manage that

or is that the whole point of wanting a manual????

That ruins it for me. And how is Chris Harris supposed to drift it around Silverstone?!
