I recently had a post where I went through the possibilities of supercars from brands who normally don't make supercars. I had to rely on pictures poached from the internet to get my ideas across, when ideally I'd illustrate what I had in mind. Well, I've got some time and a scanner at work so lets have some fun.
Starting with the A's, we've got Acura/Honda. I think the NSX we'll have is a pretty good representation of what a Honda supercar could be. My only suggestion would be clean up the looks. A more exotic high revving V8 or V10 sans hybrid system would be more exciting, but I think Honda's making a good (if safe) choice with the turbo six set up.
Alfa's 6C could be a gem of a car. Maserati's turbo six would do the work, something like 450hp, keep the lightweight philosophy and make it look a bit more like the old Tipo 33.
A mid-engine Aston would be dreamy. Let's imagine the One-77 big NA V12, and lightweight hand built carbon fiber.
Finally Audi's R10 would be an R8 mixed with the R18 and Nanuk concept. Turbo deisel V8 with a hybrid set up, this car would have more torque than the sun.

Great! So here's a challenge for you. Turn this:
into an elongated this:
i.e., Z06 wheels, fender vent, V logo, Elwood front emblem.
And substitute the lower grille from this with an added "exaggerated" front lip splitter.
And to really make it hard.... put Gizmo behind the wheel.

Can I help?
No, seriously. I need the design practice.
Also, you'll find I did a couple of sketches of an Aston Martin supercar- either mid-engined or front-engined, and, like yours, they both turned out better than the POS DB10.

Whatever, I still call dibs on Alfa, Lancia (although I fear I may make a terrible dog's breakfast of a Stratos re-imagining...) and, oddly enough, Lotus and Caterham.
