That's a lot of car for £120k :cool:

sigma · 21 Nov 2017 at 14:06

Hmm not convinced (on the looks at least), especially for £120k...

Conscript · 21 Nov 2017 at 14:06

Like.

Yaayuh! · 21 Nov 2017 at 14:08

The bit that takes my fancy (other than the looks) is: "This is the first Aston to be completely set up by their ex-Lotus ride and handling chief, Matt Becker… and it’s his kind of car".

Hopefully we'll see how it performs soon.

Has a very similar design to an F Type from some of them angles...or even MX5!

Would have thought a brand like Aston could afford better-looking renders.

Freakbro · 21 Nov 2017 at 14:22

Yes please

antijoke · 21 Nov 2017 at 14:31

That steering wheel is fugly.

Rest of the car looks stunning though.

Cleisthenes · 21 Nov 2017 at 14:33

I actually thought MX5 when I saw the front first

Nice looking thing though, but not a fan of the sound compared with the old one

Glad they finally updated the interior. Although, the black sills and undercut doors make it look like it's way too high off the ground.

Those renders appear to be missing an exhaust

Those renders are the fully electric version

Not a huge fan of the front view, or the centre console, but yeah, if I was thinking of buying a 120k car, that would definitely be in the running.
I'm not far from Gaydon, so I'll keep a look out when they start driving around!

Rroff · 21 Nov 2017 at 15:09

I'm probably alone here but I kind of wish they'd make an actual good looking/performing version of the old ~1989 Virage - the squared off mean look but done proper.

Alanrocks · 21 Nov 2017 at 15:49

I'm not too sure about this, don't know wether it's the colour green I keep seeing everywhere. Anyone seen a gun-metal grey or white version yet?

TacticalFish · 21 Nov 2017 at 15:52

Steering wheel looks like a game of Twister. Not sure how I feel about the centre console either. Other than that, I'll take two.

GinG · 21 Nov 2017 at 16:01

Still slower than a Stage 2 Golf R mind.

mrk · 21 Nov 2017 at 16:07

At night, from the front, it will look like a catamaran when specced in a non dark colour. The grille position just looks wrong.

Also the body coloured centre console surround trim looks a bit tacky in those images. Needless to say, no doubt some folks with more money than taste will opt for those combos.

Also really hate the dash cluster style. It screams hatchback as opposed to the usual refined and smooth Aston design?

For similar money I think the new Granturismo MC looks more luxurious, and retains the 4.7 N/A.

Bet it sounds good though, even with turbos...

Can't un-see it now.
