Pinnacle of Aston Martin design

Round 3

Phew!! I thought finding the nicest Alfa Romeo was hard, but Aston is even tougher for me. I simply like them all (well, other than 80's Lagonda). Every single modern Aston Martin is simply gorgeous, and their older models from the 50's and 60's are to die for. DB4, DB5, Zagato models, Vantage, One-77.... easiest answer would be “one of each please”.

I really wanted to nominate the DB4GT Zagato from the early 60's. I like the DB4 more than the earlier DB models, and I like it more than the later models too. But, while thinking about it, I realized that I prefer modern Aston Martins, like the DBS V12. Regular DB9 models are nice but the DBS is spectacular. It might not be the fastest or most modern GT car on the market, but it is the prettiest. Also, that V12 engine howl is glorious.

I prefer the coupe, but the Volante droptop is drop dead gorgeous too

Astons look best in blue.

I think the V12 Vantage takes, it looks so compact and purposeful.

It is my second favorite.

There are very few blue cars I like.

Damn I want a DBS Volante so bad. Don’t care about “rigidity” and “stiffness” in a car like that. It looks so good.

Agreed - it is a Grand touring car and it will take two in comfort all day. Stiffness is not my concern in this car.

Also, is it not the last, if not one of, manual V12 GT cars? I might be forgetting something obvious hehe.

Eh, I like the DB7 series way more than their newer stuff

Curvier, less chunky.

See, to me a DB7 looks like a nice Ford Probe or something plain. Can’t put my finger on what makes it so, but it is a general feeling I get from it.

I Quite Like this New Vanquish.

It is pretty. Vanquish might be one Aston I could afford one day, like Doug.

It has a very clear nineties design language, it’s most possibly that.

Also, it’s not a looker in most pics.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > MUSASHI66 10/21/2016 at 12:10

So is it the DBS or the V12 Vanquish? Because you’ve got both pictured above? Both absolute stunners, to be sure. I think every Aston is the peak of Aston design.

Answer is both - I just like modern Aston Martins.
