Ok i know there never ending slating/loving of the new Vantage will continue but whilst looking at my daily Linkedin feed, this popped up...

just in case it doesn't show....

Now i have never heard of this before and considering its from wayback in 2008, i have to admit 11 years later it could of been shown now and i don't think anyone would think its out of date. Ok now it could be improved in some areas but its more of a evolution than revolution. Worked for Porsche all these years.
Personally i like it and dare i say it, better than the new one!

I pressed your link (to Linkedin), before fully reading your comment.
Thought at first, that I was looking at an aftermarket alteration to the front of the new Vantage.

Was puzzled after that by seeing the rear haunches, so then fully read your comment to realise it is a modified (looks like) DB9.

My initial impression is that it is an overall fairly pleasing design, with hints of One 77 (front scoops) and Zagato (front grille looks like DB7 Zagato). A great deal of work, which in my opinion does not beat the Ian Callum original design perfection.

Major alterations involved. Wonder how many they sold?

Doesn't work for me.

If that is a physical car and not just CG renders I’ll eat my hat.
Some interesting detailing ideas and proportions but some awkward. It’s an intriguing evolution of the 2000s era style though.

Nice looking car the front is spot on .

Better than what I could do for sure, but no thanks. Not as well resolved as the new Vantage and looks 10 years old in design to me. All IMHO, of course!

Interesting views. Like i said though, it is a 11 year old design now so would be due an update but personally, i wouldn't complain too much if it was a "new" Vantage.
