That is genuinely a rear only a mother could love.... Aston's will always hold a place in my heart but what the hell is that. That said, I've never seen an Aston not being driven like a pensioner so odds are you won't have to focus on that god awful rear end for long
Have you never seen scoop shots of a development car before? It's disguised! It does not look like that underneath. Are you one of those people that pulls up alongside me at a traffic light and expects me to drag race you? Why would I do that?

I'm assuming the overall design isn't going to change that dramatically? Of course it will differ, as with concept art, but it will still bear a resemblance.....Are you one of those people that pulls up alongside me at a traffic light and expects me to drag race you? Why would I do that?
And no, I don't really care for traffic light GP's, I'm more referring to the fact that I have never seen an Aston making any kind of progress!

This shape would seem to provide great options to make the exterior more or less aggressive dependiong on the model.
So I really hope they know what they are doing because it is a long way for them to fall if it isn't.
Just a shame that DR Bez did what German Managers always do and took it home. At least he was not successful moving production out of the UK too. Because it was a chance for Aston to do something different.
It will be an Aston derived shell and leather with AMG GT, drivetrain and ancillary running gear, mildly tweeked by Aston within the limits AMG set. For the Chelsea crowd, it being an AMG is just marvellous but it would have been great to see a Cosworth, JLR even, Ricardo or for the first time fully Aston derived engines. Another marque becomes dependent on the protected Bavarian auto industry.
Fortunately there will be many more good priced second hand Aston's about in the future.

I've seen these about near the AML headquarters. Proportions look a lot more like a V8 Vantage replacement than DB9, but it might just be those wide rear haunches from the One-77 visually shortening the car. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
Saw one on the M40 near Gaydon yesterday - less well finished mule with gaffa tape holding a plastic rear lower wing panel on with a hole you could put your hand through in it.Must admit thought it was a prototype F type variant but no mistaking that flat rear panel after seeing these pics.
I'm struggling to grasp the comments about the design, as if somehow people already know what the car looks like under all it's camouflage. I've some experience of camouflaged prototypes (in fact, I was driving one today), and there will be a lot of false panels and other bits added, sometimes clearly, sometimes not, to distort, break up and generally hide any surface that might be the final shape. So to anyone commenting on the look of it - I say hold your horses, it won't look like this. Especially at the rear, which is clearly just thrown together with temporary off-the-shelf lights to give some semblance of a car shape.
I don't understand why people are commenting on the design either - it's a heavily disguised mule! The actual DB11 won't look anything like that.
The current AM V8 engine is NOT a Ford engine. It owes nothing whatsoever to the Ford Modular engine family. It is in actuality a relative of the Jaguar AJ-V8, second generation thereof, slightly bored out to 4.3 litres (from the Jag's 4.2), then further enlarged to 4.7 litres.
