    Unlike the last Zagato DB7, this one seems to more closely resemble the values of the original DB4GT Zagato (being lightweight, as it is shown on this V12 Zagato, such as that sliding window and the rollcage tubing)

    Very much Ferrari at the back. The front is almost the same sexy suave Aston Martin but i just can't get over the rear end. I don't like the fact that there's really no rear bumper. It's like Zagato either said f*ck it, it's already a masterpiece or they just ran out of parts. It really reminds me of the 458 GT2 Le Mans car

    So. Much. Want. I think it looks great. Combining Aston & Ferrari isn't really a bad thing is it? Two of the best looking carmakers ever. The GT-R-ness is all right by me.

    I reckon it needs more bulge at the back. The whole front seems a bit... rounded.

    I like it a lot. Puts the Superamerica to shame, in my opinion.

    This car makes the Superamerica look like a big fat slobering pig...

    Obviously it will have a semi auto transmission, I just hope ASton use the dual clutch system used in the SLS Mercedes. Instead of the clunky one that they developed under Ford. Other than that it's a good looking car.

    The black rims shown at Villa d'Este on it helped the cars looks a ton IMO.

    Looks very GT now.

    I guess Zagato has once again shown who's boss. The car might not be perfect, but it's still really cool. I hope Aston will build it.

    The show car you see here represents something of a mid-point between the race and road variants that will ensue, packing, for example, street-spec rolling stock but a stripped-out race cockpit. The concept's engine is unchanged from the V12 Vantage road car – Aston says it is gauging public reaction before announcing production plans, but something tells us they've already decided. A full-on racing version is set to take on the Nürburgring 24, but whether this will form the new GT3-spec V12 Vantage announced a month ago remains to be seen.

    The list is (with the Aston):

    Porsche (always the favorite)
    Audi (rivaling Porsche)
    Ford (led last yr's race early IIRC)
    Ferrari (took forever to develop)
    Aston Martin (should be fast if it competes)

    I think this race is gonna be better than Le Mans!

    It will certainly be a lot more action-packed. That lies in the nature of the track .
    This is Porsche's home turf, so I'm sure that they will at least finish in a high position. Audi will undoubtably try it's best, but as there are a lot more competitors now (BMW Z4 V8, Merc SLS and a few other cars), they will have a hard time if you remember how well those cars did in their debut races. No, I haven't forgot about the M3 GT2 either.
    Aston is kinda the new kid on the block, so I'm not expecting them to win. However, that doesn't mean that they can't win this.
    Ferrari... well, I'm not sure. While their results in the ALMS seem to be impressive, they have never done that well in ther Nürburgring 24. Maybe they'll be lucky this time .

    Only 19 will be built, obviously none will go to the U.S. Why not 190? 40-50 to the U.S. and it will sell quickly, I guarantee it.

    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!
