    looks like a vanquish GT-R..

    but nice! nice to see aston slightly moving away from the DB9 shape instead of over-using it.

    I don't think it looks *that* much the same. It has some of the similar styling cues, its still obviously an aston martin, but it is a sexy bitch.

    I'll reserve judgement until I see it. However a 7 litre V12 is is pretty behind the curve when everybody is talking about going to smaller engines.

    Also in regards to the rumor that Aston is going to start getting their engines from Mercedes-Benz I have just one word: pathetic. It's one thing for a tiny company like Pagani or Morgan to source engines, but if Aston thinks they can be considered on the same level as Ferrari or Lambo they need to be able to produce their own engines.

    I guess it's a cheap way of getting more power.

    Then again they could've supercharged or turbocharged the 5935cc engine. Maybe the engine bay was too cramped or something.

    henrik fisker designed the db9.. he has his own company now, so it wasnt him. even his was an evolution of ian callum's db7. it is the aston design language. it extends back 50 years, so it probably wont change for a long time ahead.

    the mid-engined supercar idea went away with the sell off from ford. Dr. Bez has discussed that it quite a few interviews. i think a mid-engined car is very un-aston, but this is spot on.

    Looks like a mash of 599 GTB and DB9

    I'd hold off judgment of the aesthetics until you have a real picture of it.

    Didn't know that he's not part of Aston anymore. Still, you have to say, the Aston Martin range resembles each other way too much.

    it's not a picture, it's a rendering, or a way too much photochopped pic

    Exactly, not only is it a rendering but a poorly lit one

    I'm guessing they're going to make 77 of them then.
