Aston Martin DBC Concept

[Specracer]

Few cars have stopped me in my tracks, and I said wow. Im not in to the sharp angle look that caddie and lambo have. 458 and 12c are better, P1 better still....

But this... "hips" and all like our GT....

Wow, that is a beautiful design. Wish they would build it.

Wow. I want it in White w/gold wheels!

 

[Brombear]

Looks great, but I fear they're not be able to make it. Headlamps are quite low.

Overall Design DNA = Honda NSX,

Major features = 458 headlights and Audi wheel arches

Conclusion = Nothing compelling as a new design, Ford GT aging well - looks great!

Jag influenced rear.

Next time you visit D, stop by CCS. They always seem to generate some forward thinking design.

Now you tell me...I'm 2500 miles away!

Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. School Camilo attended.

Students there often get projects from OE's. You do see some fresh thinking from time to time. Supercars are difficult for any to design, you often see reuse of successful design elements repackaged.

Just for fun at the Rally, see if you can get Camilo to do a cocktail napkin design for you. Let him talk thru the elements as he sketches it. It is a lot of fun and educational for sure.

I really like the car in charcoal.


(Shoot! That silver/gray is 'none too shabby' either! I just now stumbled onto that one in the above link! THAT's THEE color for the DBC!)
