Aston Martin

V6

 

[Turbotwin01]

Seems they are going in the direction of their VGT, though i still love their FRs

Looks like something out of an arcade racer.

Looks like somebody forgot to remind Eddie Engineer about not overusing copy and paste... Sigh.
Valkyries = yum
003 = I wanted something different
Vanquish= Give it a normal body for Christ's sake!

It will also use the new V6, although Aston Martin suggests it will be in a slightly different form from the 003.

In other words, it will have slightly less power.

If anything of the Vanquish concept makes production, I'll be happy.

I love all of them. They look amazing inside and out.

McLaren Senna's still my dream car but these awesome new cars are really exciting too.

It feels like Aston is turning over a new leaf, interesting things on the horizon for them.

On a side note, I didn't realise that Chris Goodwin had jumped ship from McLaren as its test driver, to Aston Martin in the same role.

In December 2017 apparently.

Either Catchpole is taller than I figured, the concept is much lower than I assumed, or some combination of both...

He's 6'5" according to his author page on Evo. So he is quite tall

 

[NotThePrez]

Never knew about the sealed oil system in the Vulcan, sounds pretty neato.

Isn't the DB5 a six-cylinder?
If they want a straight six, there's one in a Toyota.
