Ultimate roadster?

Wow look at this bad boy I went out to today! The carbon fibre work was amazing.

It looked good till the doors opened





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

It seems to being transported all over the world for various shows so LHD makes sense. I was taking the fuel out before it got loaded onto a plane. All cars being transported by air have to have their tanks drained to under a quarter.

Methinks that looks about right to fit over a sevenesque chassis. Fred when you finish the Lola I have found a new project for you!!!!

Like most 'ultimate roadster's' they spend all the time getting the front end right, leaving the rest awful.

Those doors!!!!

Bonnet looks nice, rest of the car is just yuck

As above the doors are just idiotic and ugly, would be better without them

Designers are trying desperately to come up with something new but most of it just looks desperate

I think its stunning, all over!
Doors only open slightly off the angle of a normal door so cant see the issue!
Bedside its how it looks (and sounds) when its moving that counts!

I like it all, excepting for the look with the doors open.

What about this as an alternative?

I really like it!

you can tell at a glance it's made by aston, but it draws you in and you want to see more!

It would be really easy aston to make just another "DB-whatever" but instead they've pushed the boat out and come up with something different.

Life would be boring if we all liked the same things, but IMO this really captures the imagination! Well done Aston!!
