    It's all subjective at the moment anyway, from what i've heard they have stopped the R&D program because of the economic climate.....

    So they are stuck with that V8 vantage rear end now?

    I like the front. But for $1.5M, id get a nice DB4 GT.

    The current EVO has a nice write up and very cool photos from their secret lab. This is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind machine! The components are like artwork. Pretty billet aluminum suspension parts. The front section of the carbon fiber frame is both structural and functional - it is the air intake too. Thinking way outside the box these Asti guys. This intake gained them even more hp unexpectedly when engineering said "too much air restriction".

    I'm not a fan of astons or British cars in general. Jaguar, Bentley/rolls, etc..... I would rather drive a Mercedes. Aston, Lotus etc.... I would prefer a Lambo or Ferrari. But this Aston is just plain beautiful from all angles.

    Clarkson described the DBS as "bite the back of your hand beautiful" and thats absolutely what this is, but for over £1 million it certainly should be. There are going to be 77 very lucky people indeed and 23 very disappointed people.

    Looks good. I love British cars (classic ones at least). Pre-WWII Bentley, Silk Cut Jags, DB4, McLaren F1, mmmmm.....

    The thing is: This is not a souped up DB9 or just a DB9 with a new bodykit. I've read a few articles about it by now and wow - they have really aimed at the hypercar target... The suspension system (and the entire engine bay) is just plain nuts sexy... I love the styling and the fact that very competent men developed it.

    1.5 m. is too much for a car anyway (but I'm just saying that because my own pocket isn't so deep) :D

    One pic... Very early stage, but all I could find right now... Look in the latest Evo mag for exclusive coverage and more production-ready pictures.

    I'd be embarrassed by the fact that it needed a truck sized motor to put out 700hp ... what are we talking here?, less hp/litre than a Toyota Corolla?

    Wow, where do I sign up for one? ... the Toyota that is ;)

    I dont like it. the front looks weird (although the back is quite attractive). All current astons look exactly the same nearly, hence why i like the V8 vantage most (N24 please:))

    I think its ugly. The interior is beautiful though. How big is it? It looks huge in the pictures.
