Looks better from the back than the front,imo. Bet it will go like sh*t off a very shiny shovel though.
Why do all new perf cars seem to have a roof-line that looks like it's been penned by Audi TT designers?

is it just me or does the rear quarter of the front view (the red one) have more than a hint of 350Z about it?

very nice alround though, and that rear view is rather tasty indeed.

300bhp isn't exactly mind blowing these days though. If it wants to compete with Porsche, it's going to need a blower at some point. Unless it's *super* light.

Oh goodie.

So you missed the spec of the 450ps 5.0 V8 version then?


Whoops.

Yes, I did.

That looks fantastic. I'd love a car that looked like that. If the performance stacks up then what a great package it'll be...!

That's the first time in a long time I've seen a new car and thought "Wow". Let's hope it gets into production in that form.

The V6 version sounds ripe for some forced induction...

Looks gorgeous - Aston-like "mouth" at the front, rear has a whiff of F360 about it!

Only slight concern is the angle of the tip of the nose, looks a bit odd to me...

Its very nice, but seems to be a bit of - new Jag XK at the front, Honda S2000 at the rear, New Aston V8 Vantage combined with New Alfa Romeo Brera all over. It doesnt matter though a all those particular cars are stunning looking IMHO.......

We know someone who was driving the prototype @ TTE in Colgne and said it weighed less the 1200kg. Lets hope it makes it into production at a similar weight.

Almost no chance of a sub 1200kg weight. I'd be suprised if it came in sub 1400kg with all the safety devices and a decent sized powerplant.

Looks great but a bit like a 350Z with an aston nose/bonnet. Foldy roof version does look stunning and veru 360 Spyderish as pointed out above. No chance of this version weighing less than a supertanker.

Chances of the production model being as pretty?

Nice !

But the wheels/arches look too big.. apart from that it looks great, especially the rear.

Then it'd be Aston money and I'd probably plump that way if I had that kind of money...

Nothing wrong with a car being 1400kg though as long as it maintains the balance and has enough power to make it potent.

I think the Jap market needs cars like this although they seem more interested in producing tat for the US market rather then interesting cars.

It has changed a fair bit from the concept pics that were kicking around a few months ago, looks a lot less Corvette-like now, looks good
