Another new one on autogespot. Could this one be Quantum Silver perhaps?

Sorry, we moved on to an Instagram chat channel instead - got the impression the ph forum was upset at the (possibly over) enthusiastic posts in the GT8 thread smile

Did they offer carbon ceramics as an option on the GT8?

Coincidentally, the upper tip of the boot spoiler on the pre-MY2012.25 car, lines up almost exactly with that of the GT8.

Looking at the bottom of the rear lights, the GT8 must be a slightly lower car, which we probably knew anyway.

Great photos and presumably, very finely judged parking. I don't expect you used the Parisienne technique.

Nope, I did ask and was told AM didn't think they were necessary given the lighter weight of the car versus normal etc

Entirely amateurial pictures smile it wasn't perfectly centred but you are right, the GT8 is, slightly, lowered compared to a 4.7 Sport Pack (which is lower than a standard 4.7).
We have also a side to side picture clearly showing the GT8 is the wider car. From the back, the curves on the rear wheel arches are in the same proportions as in the 4.7 (which is good!).

Are any other GT8 owners here going to the Goodwood Supercar Sunday Breakfast Club on the 7th May? If so send me an email on this ph account as my Aston dealer is arranging some breakfast for us down at Goodwood having spoken directly to Goodwood. I will also be organising a convoy down from the Surrey direction in the next week or so if anyone is interested. Already have a few other GT8 owners interested through Instagram so would be good to see as many of you there as possible!

I hadn't thought about it but will almost certainly bring mine, will talk to Goodwood first as it could be fun to bring a few of the toys!

Already have about 6 GT8's coming (if they've all been delivered by then!) so would be nice to see yours there as well!
