Wow, there's a lot of it in front of the front wheels! Given it's undoubtedly front mid-engined, what the h£ll's occupying all that space?

The cooling and induction system if my car is anything to go by. The engine is almost 3 feet back from the bumper.

I think the proportions are fantastic, it's stolen the mantle from the DBS as the best looking front engined GT. Luckily there will be a new DBS soon to put the world back to rights.

Hard to se if its good looking or not....Not sure until I see a better pic....On face of it for me the DBS still looks better Lewis...

Does this look a little like the GT from the side? Or is that just me...

An evolution of the 599, so a good looking car but not in the league of the AM for outright classic lines. To my eye the modern AM's are the best looking car on the market...

What is going on with the front, 458 has an iffy front end, FF is not the best and neither is this. As for an Aston, i would rather walk, no really i would.

And probably the most unreliable excepting Lotus. Was recently at a media day at brands Hatch and of the two cars Lotus brought along, they only ever managed to get one going. Sad tale after so much investment in money and personnel

Wow, I didn't know people were still so ill informed!

The relaibility of a Gaydon built Astons is up there with the best, they are solid well-built cars. Few electrical niggles with early 04-05 DB9s but pretty great after that. No doubt you've got a mate who's got a mate who's car exploded wiping out half of Sussex?

Interesting they're comparing the new car with the One-77 rather than the DBS. Suggests it could be Enzo money rather than 599 money?

I like it, but don't lust after it like an Aventador.

Need to see the new Ferrari in the flesh as I can not make my mind up...Had a look at the pictures on the Ferrari site and I do like the back.......I prefer it to the 599 but then I never liked that...
