stunning

that has to be one of the best sounding cars EVER

Superb video.

The sound assuming that hasn't been dubbed is epic.

Did you notice that the car pulling into the Nurburgring Test Centre at the end is not the same one we have just watched going round the ring?

It's unfortunate that the car's rear is just far too wide for the rest of the body. It looks like a caricature of a car from behind.

and a good reminder to start playing the lottery again.

Totally agree. It is not a beautiful car, nor soulfull. Presuambly, on start up, the dash flashes "Power, power, power", and not "Power, beauty, soul".

Totally disagree, from originally being doubtful but now having seen it in the metal it is a beautifully imposing car full of Aston DNA, everything about it screams power and soul!

Have to admit, I've not seen it in the flesh.

Incredible thing. Saw it at Villa D'Este last year and it's truly stunning even when sat still

Was at the AMOC concours at Blenheim and had a good look around and inside one and I was blown away by it. The way the rear suspension is visible below the rear tailgate is rather like a glass-backed watch, if you are into the details of mechanical hardware it is beautiful.

My watch is indeed glass-backed, for precisley that reason.
