Cars back then were far lighter than they are today. That means that you get better position and space to the engine which gives you the full sound of the engine. Modern cars are heavy and are all about the exhaust sound rather than engine sound.

Aston is now bringing its own DB4GT out.... £1.5 million as a "continuation" production of the original car. Could be cynical...definitely wonderful. For you Americans, that is similar to continuation Cobras in the nineties. Which is better a DB4GT or an AC Shelby Cobra? Who cares? They are both stunning icons.
@gustavmeyrink_2.07 жыл бұрын
Not the first time. In '88 AM made 4 'Sanction II' cars using unused chassis numbers. This effort between AM and Zagato left them with 2 unused bodies. These bodies are now being fitted on old DB4 chassis to make the 'Sanction III' cars. The SII cars were completely new cars built using the original tooling hence they ended up with a 4.2L motor rather than the original 3.8L.

The shocking thing to me is that the current auction price for a 1960's DB5 is around $450,000. Far less than the 500K pounds (or $625,150 US Dollars) of the remake. You could buy a 1964 DB5 and still have $175.000 left for a Bentley Continental!

It is certainly an interesting tribute, for lack of a better word, if that was indeed this manufacturer's intent, to the storied Aston DB5. What's got my curiosity is the similarities are ridiculously striking, right down to the same exact name of this maker: David Brown. I'm a little surprised that we have not heard of any lawsuits of any kind from Aston Martin. Or are we to assume any similarities to the DB5 are merely coincidental? In any case, I must admit it's still a great-looking car.

nigel nuj Because China has a terrible reputation for making rip-offs of other cars (esp. Japanese) exclusively for the Chinese market. Almost all Chinese cars can’t actually be sold overseas, because they break so many international copyrights (because China has a terrible reputation for ignoring copyrights, which is why it’s not a stereotype that most fakes are Chinese). Toyota alone has sued several of these companies literally dozens of times over international copyright (they even once proved that over 700 parts between one of these knockoffs was cross compatible with the car it copied), and they’re hardly the only ones.

I saw several attempts by British entrepreneurs to revive classic cars such as this one, jaguar E type,MG. .invariably they all are priced beyond the means of the mildly rich...the point?....there is a niche market for replicas for certain car models from all over the globe..we car lovers need some entrepreneurs to set up production of these classic cars(with the option of modern twists and safety issues is also welcomed) at really affordable prices...think of it..as a buyer you can choose the engine ,tyres ,interior etc..I will consider this DB if it was priced close to a jaguar..
@bighands693 жыл бұрын
The problem with producing a mass produced car is that the regulations that control their production make it very difficult to manufacture them in mass. Hence why we only really see limited specialized cars that cost half a millions. Less regulations and we would see really nice cars for £20,000 never mind £500,000.
