Aston Martin DB7 Coupe #1
most beautiful car of the 90's
Absolutely gorgeous. It's easily one of the best-looking cars ever.
Looks great, and IMO modern days Aston Martins are still to most beautiful cars around...
Well as it turns out, I wasn't looking in all the right places. Here comes more DB7 Coupe and Vantage photos.

Sweet car. Reminds me a bit of the old Jag SK though...

The DB7's platform is based on the Jaguar XJS'

Sorry about some of the confusion, I uploaded DB7 Vantage pics thinking they were of the Coupe (thanks for the correction Sauc3!).
Now it begs the question for those like me not in the know, whats the difference between the Coupe and the Vantage?

The original DB7 Coupe used a 3.3litre supercharged straight-six engine, as it was intended to be the 'baby' of the family in comparison to the big, bruising V8 Vantage.
The 'Vantage' saw the engine upgraded to the monster 6 litre V12 (the first V12 ever in an Aston) that AM have been using successfully ever since. :)

The Vantage has crystal style fog lights which are more commonly known to be on the Vanquish or DB7 GT.
Aston Martin DB7 Coupe #4
A shame that there are so few picture of this "normal" DB7 in comparison to the Vantage. Styling wise this one appeals to me so much more. ;)
Those rims are so terrible, I threw up a little in my mouth. Same with the mirrors. In fact, the whole car kinda is like the DB9 but a lot worse...

The wheels have wheel covers, you can take them off and they look much better. See Post #5 pics 1 and 3.
And it's the other way round, the DB9 looks a bit like this, only a lot worse.

I despise you Ferrer. :)
Without those wheel covers, still crap.
Would you say you liked this generation Aston Martin design over the current generation's design - or is this car specific?
