DB by Design
This elegant interpretation of an original Aston Martin is the vision of a young Spanish designer, Ruben Vela, and he sums it up as “a fresh vehicle that also represents all the tradition of the brand.”
“But if you could drive this two seats super-car you will feel integrated in it because the dashboard wraps you, and the glass-roof makes you feel like being inside a F-15, feeling the power pushing your back.”

I really hope that does not go past the drawing board… IT’S HEDIOUS!!!! To be fair, it’s an odd design, futuristic, maybe cool, but not for an Aston Martin… it simply defies the classic, class and style of Aston Martin.
I kinda like it, I do think the rearend is stupid looking, but I do think he held true to Aston Martin appeal with the rest, everything forward of the rear wheels is sharp.
I really like it- everything but the back. It looks like it’s unfinished or a last minute detail to try and make it look cool, but it didn’t succeed… other wise, it’s a gorgeous car.
i do have concerns with what looks like a carbon fibre roof – that would ruin, it but are you blind?
it looks like the offspring of a corvette and a jet fighter – what is not to like about the appearence
the only problem there is the flick of the spoiler at the back – where it looks as if a fench artist has got too enthusiastic with his work and tryed to put some picasso in it
but by jupitar thats a good looking car>
fromthe side it looks like the hellcat tbh
and the specs are brilliant for an aston – 215mph is pretty impressive – i mean thats not exactly slow
Cool car! Amazing concept!
It’s kinda cool… But it’s just not an Aston Martin!
The concept has missed the most important point.
It looks American. Aston Martin is English.
It’s an insult the the heritage of Aston Martin.
I think ‘insult’ is a tad over the top! For a young design artist with an obvious appreciation for the prestige that is Aston Martin he has done a good job.
It’s only a concept, the thought of one man!
Yes – perhaps insult is a bit strong.
