Agreed. I don't think it's me getting old and pessimistic, either. Legislated design standards are one major influence, I think. Pedestrian crash standards controlling hood heights. Maybe side impact concerns birthing these super tall belt lines. Everything has gotten exaggerated and extreme. We're working with differerent generations of designers, too. Look at all the gross influences on younger people these day. Nonstop stimulation from their stupid phones. There's no subtley in the avalanche of media blitzing their brains. This Aston is a great example. I want to think it's really cool but I just don't. At all. It looks like a tacky cartoon. Power level is appropriately absurd for modern cars, which is three times what it needs to be fun and reasonable on any public road, but it just doesn't have any classic swagger like the old stuff. And that "tribute" front end is just ridiculous. A perfect example of how the design culture has seemingly lost its way.

By exposing the top of the shift mechanism, A-M are trying to do a Pagani, and in the process embarrass themselves. Then there’s the loose and sloppy linkage as experienced by Harry. The final insult: To keep this trans from failing they detuned the engine to produce 200 fewer torques. To be consistent with this model’s retro exotic image, they shoehorned in the only manual trans they had. Like the econobox-era rectangular display atop the console, the ill-suited manual trans is an expedience for the manufacturer. Your paying £1.5M for this thing does not entitle you to special favors!

That within two weeks the production run was sold out indicates A-M knows what they are doing: monetizing the brand’s mystique in the cheapest way possible, a reflection of their contempt for this know-nothing generation of buyers.

From a design perspective, I much prefer the Victor. It looks far more cohesive, and you would think Aston would have gone to the trouble of designing bespoke wheels for it instead of using leftover DBS rims!

I think you are being slightly harsh on the look of the car, Harry. Stunning, and as you say, we need to celebrate Aston actually building it. The question is, Harry, would you spend £1.5million to own one ? Great video as always

Its such a joy to see new supercar with manual. Anyway, while its summer, please do video on Kawa KZ 1300. Honda video was so awesome.
@paultucker12725 ай бұрын
The lipstick on the grille is a nod to the racing Astons of the past such as the DB3S which had different colours to differentiate them to the pit crews. Im glad Aston are building cars like this. Me? I’d have a DB12 and a late 80’s V8 Vantage. But then those that will buy these will likely have those (and more) in their garage too! I’m really looking forward to the next Vanquish though as I hope that’s a DB12 turned up to (V)12 😊

I don't mind the lights, i dont mind the red trim, i do like the side elevation, the back and how it sounds. The fact that the gear level gate is open is not really going to bother me either - but the fact it is a manual makes me happy deep inside. None of this matters a jot, mainly as they have all been sold, but more importantly even if i sell my house, a kidney from me, my wife and each of our two daughters -.i could never afford one. So Aston thanks for making it, but no need for the salesman to call me come Monday morning!
