From 6Speed in the US.

Annoying Aston cant do the basics and forward some pics, the dealers are in the dark.





Anyway looks great, thinking Alloro green now.

What is it that you want to know? Ask away and I will do my best to help out as there is very little I probably havn't already asked myself...

If its the sport plus pack colour schemes, then all dealers have already had a colour brochure with pictures of each of the schemes. Admittedly not full colour shots of real cars, as most have not actually been built yet, but with a bit of googling and photoshop you can reasonably work out what they are all going to look like. The pictures I saw were good enough however to give me an idea of each.

Your dealer shouldn't be in the dark; I think many/most of them got to drive the car almost two months ago (see separate thread on V12VS manuals)!

It was pictures, real pictures, that i wanted to see of the finished product, the finished product being the console of the manual. It just seems crazy that they announce a car with no pictures of what they are selling.

I got all the info i wanted and my local dealership has been very helpful, and i am very nearly there with spec.

Someone at Aston just needs to get on the case re pictures of physical cars even if it is through social media.

ah yes, agree with that

Just to be clear in that picture, that's an 'high line' console?

I think the issue is they almost certainly haven't built any cars in some of the schemes yet, but they overlap heavily with the N430 schemes, so the answer mostly lies in looking at those.

As I am sure you know the 5 schemes are:

  • Speedway White & Orange: There are the pics of the US show car that you have already posted, plus there was a Q special V12V a couple of years back that was very similar. This car was recently photographed too here. Speedway white was a N430 colour scheme, albeit with red not orange.
  • China Grey & Yellow: This is the one combo that doesn't share a N430 sibling, but its also the one combo that there are loads of pictures/videos of as it is the official AM press release colour.
  • Alloro Green & Yellow: No pics, but this combo is the same as an N430 combo, and one or two members here on PH have cars in this scheme, so plenty to look at with a bit of googling.
  • Jet Black & Silver: Again this is the same as a N430 combo, so quite a few pics to be found in google.
  • Skyfall Silver & White: And again a N430 combo, so again google images is the place to look.
It sounds like you are very interested in the SP+ pack then? None of the colour combos floated my boat really, but I really did love idea of the Alcantara dash and I also fell for that when I saw the GT12 at Geneva. I'm not sure if you have been following my spec thread, but Q have agreed to replicate this for me in my car for £695 so that's worth knowing if you like that aspect alone? The key to the SP+ pack really seems to be down to if you like the unique graphite lightweight wheels. If you want those, then you already have found £3750 (price of the same wheel in satin black) out of the £6000 for the SP+ so its quite easy to see the value in the rest of the goodies. If not, then its probably cheaper to just pay for the bits you want as I did. Even the graphics packs, although officially discontinued are available through Q at the same price as before.

Hope that helps a little. So come on then, please share your spec thoughts on yours so far - I think you are the only other PH member who is a confirmed buyer at the moment? smile

Yes, that is a high line console. I noticed that the GT8 preview car also had the high line too which I was a little disappointed with, so again it's probably safe to assume the new low line probably doesn't exist in any cars as yet, albeit as somebody else pointed out its going to be very similar indeed to the old early model centre console, so just google that. You can see the GT8 console if you freeze this video at 1:24

Yup, but it is still available through Q or just the parts dept for a retrofit.

I'm very close to buying a V12SR Manual, but... I am not really sure I like the new style console. There is something classic about the clock and chrome in mine

You can probably get "Q" to do the old style waterfall

I'm sure they would - Q will pretty much do anything you ask, it's just the pricing that is hit and miss, and can be enough to put you off.

If it's swappable, I wouldn't mind the new style in my car. Could do a Nic Cage/Jon Travolta "Face-Off"...

So who would be Nic and who would be Jon?

Thanks Adam. I've seen the gt8 console but that was high line too (makes sense as the show car wasn't a manual). Just surprised really that the 6speed pictures show a manual with the high line, I can see why it might be a little awkward now (and hence the low line being offered)

Absolutely agree. Classic good. Modern better?
