Zagato bonkersness!!!!

Horses for courses this one!
I LOVE the wheels and don't disagree that Metallic British Racing Green with Tan would look great but just about any red immediately makes me think Ferrari...
I'd love it in a deep pearl grey with those carbon accents, and a Black/Light grey two tone hide. Modern!!

The Volante is lovely, Speedster a bit odd but that Shooting Brake is just awful. The wheels are heinous.
Not that I'm target audience for any of them though.
love the shooting brake but don't think the wheels or side strake treatment will be as per render, instead both elements being same as the other three (which is what the other pic of the shooting brake shows, the one poking out under the cloth). Just a guess, but nothing else would make senseNot that I'm target audience for any of them though.

love the shooting brake. If it has rear seats it'll be the only Vanquish the rear passengers can have necks in.
lots of unreliable & conflicting info on the zag range over last 24 hours, but official website info says clearly shooting brake is a 2 seater onlyhttp://www.astonmartin.com/en/live/news/2017/08/15...

somehow the fact it's a 2 seater makes it cooler for me......
All three are brilliant but just love the shooting brake. Always wanted an Aston where we could get the dogs in the back - and I don't mean just shove them in the boot! The wheels look dreadful but guess they wouldn't object to swapping them out for some AMR wheels instead, dealer option of course 
Now I wonder how AML would feel if I cancelled the AMR order, sold the other Aston, sold the house - do you think that would get close to the price being asked

Fair enough, I hadn't seen the other picture until the link was posted later. The SB is still bloody weird though.The red overload in the majority of the pictures doesn't help matters for me. For example, someone has clearly gone to a lot of time designing the rear lights and then they release them in the same body colour, masking the detail. The grey works (surprise), and a light metallic blue on the Roadster would be lovely for this.

There is something to be said about the impact of all 4 being In the same colour in press shots and apart from rear lights, coupe looks great in that red but personally think shooting brake would look good in dark colour like black or ultramarine...... like most on here, just wish I could afford one !
What do we think the price of the SB will be?
Cool million? It arguably requires a lot more work than the others, engineering wise if that mostly glass roof is to be believed.
But then if it's based on the Volante, it just needs some rollover protection and boom, done.
Either way I'll have a SB, in Arden Green with tan quilted leather, with some nice simple silver wheels pls. Taa.

I don't get why there are two conflicting photos but if this forum is anything to go by, nobody likes the alternative wheels !
It's very odd to have two different looks to the cars, but maybe it's the covered car that's the anomaly? Who knows, we certainly won't until Pebble.Actually, I know some people who are seeing it tomorrow in the UK so will find out then.
I much prefer the look of the side shot render with the carbon strake section and the dark wheels (if not their design and size) - the chintzy bronze/gold details on the others don't work for me.
But as you say, it's highly unlikely that they'll have different nose/side designs for one of the four.
