king Kia Picanto... Those cars are function over form, but this Aston is a stunning thing to look at, it might be designed with function in mind but it's still a beautiful piece of kit.
I've never wanted a car to be good so much.
come on, Kelly Brook's tits are stunning, but then so is a smack in the face with a shovel. That doesn't make them both equally worth having.king Kia Picanto...

Edit: so her name's Brook, apparently...

Supercars are meant to be outrageous and spark debate though aren't they??
...therefore I'd say this one was spot on the mark!
And personally, I think it looks bloody fantastic, very contemporary take on a classic Aston shape, you can tell whats its spawned from, but looks different enough to separate it from the "lesser" models.
Top notch car and I would have to agree that the price is more than justified.

its Aston's 'big hairy boll##s, look at meeeee car' It is fabulous, but rightly limited to 77... Imagine them making and selling 5000 a year, everyone would stop buying Astons.. It's a niche car, for those who already have a well stocked garage. It looks and sounds mental, and I want one!!
Looks super, sort of like the aston thats had cosmetic enhancing surgery and its worked quite nicly, still part of the family but looks slightly different at the same time, in a botox and silicon kind of way.
Very nice - dramatic, but not 5-6 times better than your average aston. For 1.2mil , think of the amount of cars you could have in the fantasy garage and still make room for a lovley super car

Will it drive better than a Porsche? If so, why make only 77 copies?
How large do you think the world market is for £1M+++ cars?whoami said:

It does look like a pretty fine Aston.
But I have to say that at £1.2m, 220mph is hardly a headline figure where you could do that about 20 years ago with an XJ220 Jag then 240+ with the McLaren F1 and subsequently a couple of Koenigsegg offerings and a Bugatti and each will save you a few quid.
I hope its amazing in some other way.
