If anybody wonders - the configurator is up, so you can try any color Aston Martin and Q offers on it.
I done configurated one:
In general, I like it. Profile is amazing, front I suspect we'll get used to quite quickly (and its impact will be lessened by numberplates etc), and the back is really sharp. Not as keen on the interior, but I'm sure it'll feel better than it looks.
As for the configurator rendering above. There's method behind the potential madness. First, the contrasting side vent doesn't really work, so I've gone body colour. There's no carbonfibre, because it looks naff on cars like this, as do black wheels, so I went for the diamond-cut ones in the more ornate design that suits the car's shape. All the details that can be body colour are body colour, aside from the diffuser (which I couldn't grab a snap of on my phone), because the contrast looks a bit odd there, so it's black instead.
Elsewhere I tried to add just a little brightwork (the window line, the wheels, and again not pictured, the exhaust tips) because again, gloss black cheapens the vibe. Finally, the grille - the black there makes it look too much like a void on a darker paint shade like the above, so I went for a bit of contrast.
Interior also not pictured, because I couldn't do anything interesting with it that matched the exterior shade. So I went for all black, with the brushed metal highlights and a dark grey, rather than black headliner to try and lift the mood slightly. Oh, and went for the normal seats, as I'm tired of getting backache in supposedly GT cars with next to no padding and huge bolsters.
So sleek and compact, much better than the relatively plain looking DB11.
