Not impressed. Looks like some kind of fish from the front view.

Just call me a debbie downer, but in the side by side comparo, the original makes the new one look like a brick.

The vintage one is so much sexier. All those curves in the right places.

If that's supposed to improve on the original... swing and a miss.

The recent E-Type concept/update we talked about here recently, that was a very nicely done update of the original. This one reminds me of seeing your old high school girlfriend for the first time in years at your reunion, and she hasn't exactly improved over the way you remembered her!

Though I kinda-sorta like some of it and the DNA is obvious, I agree, it's definitely not an improvement. But I think the original Aston DBR1 is one of the best looking race-cars around, period. Hard to improve on excellence.

Looks like a catfish on steroids..

So, I would have to buy goggles?

Confession: I had a negative view about this when I posted it. I did so to see if I was alone in my view. I agree with each preceding negative comment.

This is a 'fail' on several levels in my view, even as a 'concept'.

The aesthetics of the earlier car are superior as noted. As an 'exoskeleton' type, the Ariel Atom does this much better.

The choices are uninspired so how can it inspire Aston fanboys? A 500HP V-12 that does 4 second sixties is lame-even by GM sporty standards-forget about LP700 numbers. An Atom will outrun those numbers handily too.

A shame because Multimatic has built some excellent sports racers in the past and they surely are technically excellent craftsman.

Aston management made poor design decisions. Their standard line of DBs is far more pleasing, staying within their realm as sports cars.

Looks like a Japanese manga version, but, hey, it's a concept. Despite some of the swooped and scooped and layered Lamborghini masterpieces, I'd say simplicity wins every day.

Van der Rohe was right. Less is more.

Yeah--like a 550HP Cobra...
