Aston has apparently taken the wraps off a new car... with a 7 liter V-12. Looks pretty sexy on first glance.

that together with news of a collaboration between aston and mercedes (RUMOUR: Aston Martin and Mercedes Planning Cooperation?) makes a lot of sense. Use their engine, as the pagani zonda does, takes a great deal of problems out of making a new model!

Like the idea, hate the price tag, but exclusivity is definitely calling on this one.

I thought this was going to be a mid-engine... still... looks good so far, like all Astons.

Once again Aston Martin make no changes at all to the looks of their cars!

I don't understand why it looks a bit like the DB9.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!

Mercedes engines are also very good, let's remember, and will almost certainly be more reliable than Aston Martin.
Looks the nuts though, and with two of my favourite companies collaborating, i'd be delighted.
Oh, and this is £1million... That's $2million

The same guy who designed the DB9 probably designed this car. He needs to get his creative juices flowing.Originally Posted by Ferrer
I guess it looks alright. Need to take a look at the headlights. But it's a good recipe to start off from. The price tag is a big high though. See a trend here? It's like the Air Force- every succeeding plane has to be bigger, better, more advanced and expensive. Same idea here. The Veyron was supposed to be the most expensive. Now this. It really is getting boring. It's not hard creating an expensive car. Meanwhile, putting that performance into a cheap car is much more interesting.

Exactly. How many DB9 variants will they try...and they all depreciate like Yugo's.
