Ive just seen one coming towards me as i was driving home (i live near gaydon) and it was in what looked like morning frost, Well, it was white anyway. It looked really good to be fair, the colour suited it, especially with the black lip on the front bumper.

Just thought id let you know.

Saw that yesterday, not sure about the rear though IMO

I saw a lightly disguised one a few months back in a very pale silver - yes it looked good, very aggressive. The carbon spoiler was covered in silver duct tape though which helped wink

Doesn't look good in all colours (stolen from the Supercars Spotted thread)

dont like that one. Seems like its going to be a colour sensitive car. But it doesnt really matter, as most will be grey and silver anyway......

To be honest a DBS would look much the same in that Gulf Blue/French Blue type colour as well. A bold choice but would polarise opinion on any car!

Is it just me, or does that look photoshopped?

That looks awful. Looks like one of those Q collection colours? Possibly Montery Blue?

The real only reason I would never want to own this car is because of that dreadful front lip.
It really spoils what could be an aggressive decent Vanquish successor.
God it's so vile :-(
I hope there's an option soon to have a normal front bumper...

That's the Blue one I saw in the flesh (metal). Along with the red(ish) one.

Here are a few pics I took at the weekend while visiting the factory.

A whole row of Vanquishs - so can confirm that pic isn't photoshopped as well.


I like the rear with the integral spoiler


Looked stunning in red

This looks absolutely stunning, I have some serious 'want' for this car:

Glad it's not just me. Ruins the car completely.

The side profile on the grey one looks lovely.

The rear lights should have taken the full One-77 treatment.

As for the front spoiler. For some reason I can't help thinking of this:



Which then also reminds me of Aston's technology approach biggrin

Having had 2 Porsches & 2 Astons in silver - looks like I've made the right choice with red!
I'm at the factory next week to sort out the details, pretty much as shown, but with black grille. I need to have a good look at the interior, but considering black / carbon interior with red stitching - thanks for the piccies!

I love the red. But I still think it will look better with the clear taillights.
