The Aston Martin grand marque has always held a certain mystique in the motoring world. Not only for its motor racing heritage over the last century and being raced by some big name racing drivers, but also classically immortalised in television and big screen films like the James Bond Franchise, which has made it an iconic sports car classic.

With race wins at world renowned circuits like the Le Mans 24 hour race, Aston Martin has come along way from its humble beginnings as a custom built hill climb race car. The company was founded by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford back in 1913. The name “Aston Martin” was introduced as a branded vehicle in 1913, but took the name “Aston” from a hill race circuit called “Aston Hill” close to the neighbouring village of Aston Clinton, where they both raced their race car specials. From then on Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford decided to make their own vehicles with a view to selling them to the general public.

ASTON MARTIN ONE-77 – The one car to rule them all, limited to only 77 lucky Aston Martin customers. This latest concept car which will be the flagship car for Aston Martin is already rumored to be the most expensive production car ever made at $2.3 million beating the previous record holder – the Bugatti Veyron.

So after being teased with this image, I did some sketches based on the semi-side profile shot of the concept car. There were enough data on this angle to figure the side panels but the tricky part was the front end. After highlighting the front end in photoshop, more details were revealed. See Figure 2 below.

My question is why did the super car makers suddenly decide that it would be a good idea to produce 4 door cars? Every 4 door Ferrari’s resale value is far lower than any other Ferrari, which would tell people that there isn’t a huge market for 4 door super cars.

This one isn’t quite as ugly as the Porsche Panamera but still it doesn’t have the elegance that the other Astons have. Read the rest of this entry »
