...the one Camilo did several months ago...the one Dave said would be impossible to get into/drive (which I can't find right now to save my soul)...Dear LORD that thing is/was SHARP...

...the one in the 'photo' next to the bottom in Kayvan's post above :wink

If it isn't already designed it ain't gonna make it for a 2016 model year car

Yep..... my guess is if it's real it's already designed and rollers are being assembled down it the bowels of Ford Racing.

DBK,

Any chance Camilo would do some Canvas Art group-buy of these?

Hard to tell, but isn't the nose of this rendering lower than our cars? Isn't that part of why production ended for ours?

Key word is 'rendering'. It wouldn't/couldn't look like that.

It looks strikingly similar/exactly like the Aston Martin DBC concept, no? If this did ever make it into production in this guise, sign me up!!!

I'll ask. I have the files already.

There's a section in FVMSS related to occupant protection, and unbelted occupant specifically nuked GT. Not the nose height, but I believe it is some convoluted calculation involving a flung forward passenger of some height drilling their head on the leading edge of the headliner.

That Aston concept is deadly gorgeous.

Heck yes!

Correct for that period of time (2007) rules. FMVSS regs have changed significantly since then, new requirements having been added/updated.

cool.

The Aston is beautiful but there is nothing like the 2011 White/Blue rendering he did. That is pure sex. And I'm talking dirty sex��

How do you think it would impact the price of the current GT? Up or down?

 

[Kayvan]

Aston would have to outsource McLaren or AMG to engineer

Every test of current Astons I see says their technology is circa 2006

From transmissions to suspensions to engine mapping it's behind

Depends a bit on the MSRP they apply to it I guess. If they price it like a Ferrari that's one thing, but if it's priced more Corvette style, well then that maybe another thing.

500 units a year. What is your guess? Pricing is more likely between 458 and LaFerrari than between Z06 and ZR1++
