In a move to tackle the fresh market that broke ground with the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a british businessman named David Brown has introduced a new brand and car inspired by the classically beautiful Aston Marin DB5.
Based from a Jaguar XK, the new british sportscar could be considered more of a coach-build than a bespoke car, a bit like the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . And while it may make you feel like Sean Connery, just don't expect it to blast your date through the roof when things go south after trying on your Scottish accent...

Under the Speedback's unique, hand-formed aluminium panels are the complete platform and mechanical package of a Jaguar XKR. Management and designers from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! have seen the Speedback and declared themselves happy with the project.
Although, David Brown and his British boffins will utilize the new and revolutionary method of 3D printing bespoke parts for the Speedback GT.
Brown says the key differences between his project and other British start-ups, that have come to nothing, is the thoroughly engineered platform, and the ability to produce bespoke small parts by 3D scanning and printing.
When questioned about the price of the Speedback GT, David Brown was keen not to give too much away, but it will probably be out of most of our reach.
You'll have to wait for the announcement at the Top Marques show in Monaco next month, but it will be somewhere between £100,000 and £1m.
Even without the signature Aston Martin grill, it looks quite good. What do you think?

As much as I like old Aston Martins and Jaguars and such, I'm sitting somewhere between "meh" and "nope" on this one. It's just not working for me.

I would rather have this than an original Aston, because I would actually drive it EVERY DAY! I think people are going to take it out of context and say its not like the original and/or not modern enough. But that is the point. Who wants to deal with driving around in a terrible driving expensive rolling art piece; which is all an original really is anymore according to auction prices. I think this is a great car for those who want an original without the burden of owning an original. I am a fan.
