Thats looks really nice, but I think the color kind of ruins it. Maybe a dark blue or black 👍.

The colour ruins it?? C'mon british racing green is the essence of british car racing! Plus these were the colours that were on the last Aston Martin to win Le mans. That DBR-9 is hot! Just love the way it looks, so mean yet so beautiful.
 
I am in full agreeance (if thats a word) with Jeff. If theres anything that could be improved or taken out it could be the yellow crap aorund the grille or...the diffusers :lol: hehehehe.
 
Greg, that yellow part around the opening around the grill is just pure tradition, the last aston martin racecars to ever win le mans had nearly the exact paint job with the yellow around the opening, I personally think the car is badass.

The DBR1 didn't have a yellow nose when it won LeMans, but the DB3S did:

They also had a blue and a red:

They had it on the DB7 racing prototype as well:

It looks amazing! And ND4SPD is right! That green is british tradition / essence.

Interestling, the first thing it came to my mind were the early succesful years of Team Lotus with Colin Chapman celebrating every win on the track. Had to watch the History of F1 DVD again. :)

Then "Racing Through Time" was on History Channel, talking about Cooper.

Gotta love British Racing.
 
i find it kind of odd how most of its air duct is blocked...i guess that blockage helps to channel the air into the intakes....which are awesome, because they are actually exposed
 
I think the vehicle looks awesome. I don't like the yellow outline of the grill though. I think it should be chrome or silver, or the color of the car. I also think the car would look better as a blue car or a black car.
 
It's quite nice. I'd prefer the Vanquish to be GT'ed, but there y'go.
 
Hmm. very very beautiful as Loud said, but looks slightly similar to the 575GT/550GT, be it I know they're supposed to be rivals and are aimed at each other. But still...maybe it's just the simlar layouts....
I can't wait to see her in action though. I hope they try a few out on teh Brit GT's, which they blatanly won't. Or maybe a privateer entry :dopey: even......

I think Aston Martin is what the British Motorsport industry needed, with the demise of Jaguar, and possibly could we see a british contingent of fans at Le Mans again like the good ol group c days when there were thousands of british fans for then?
