its a timeless combination of elegance, style, and speed.

the Reventon looks like a 'boy-racer' compared to it. like a novelty. the Veyron looks like a (fugly) insect.

A DBS would do in a pinch, though:

it would, but I would prefer one of the 'cleaner' bodies like the V12 Vantage. the DBS has that bodycladding that gives it a 'boyracer' feel. I can do without the hood vents but I am guessing they are there for a reason..

AMV8 is sick too, looks like a mini-One-77. but I don't think the production version looked like this... wait, was there a production version?

Gawd, some lovely cars on this page. But, I'm very partial to Aston Martin.

How about the Vanquish? Pretty classic lines on that one (you can almost see the DB5 DNA in there):

I must admit, this would be a close second in my "Any Car In the World" competition:

I love the Vanquish (and considered it) but the rear end looks dated at this point... the front is amazing tho

nice choices imj

The side vents that bisect the headlights on the One-77 bother me. It's one of my less-favorite new AM designs but the profile is beyond sexy!

V8 Vantage is the cleanest Aston design IMO. Almost too plain, but aside from that I can't complain about anything. The V12 Vantage is great, my ideal blend of adrenaline and class.

Call me biased but I've always liked Corvettes, especially the late model high-performance variants (C4 ZR-1, C5-C6 Z06, ZR1). Even if someone gave me $300,000 tax free with no strings attached, I would just get a new Z06 and call it a day. A Ferrari badge has no value to me

yeah its a bit controversial, that front. btw. bisect means to cut in half.... so you're dramatizing that just a tad there.. LOOK at those rear fenders!

Yeah, I meant something more like 'split'. Still, in every picture it's the first thing I look at.... just can't help it

I like it, I just don't love it.

I don't love it either... I just feel the rest of the car makes up for it.

One-77 is gorgeous. Is there a test or review of it somewhere?

I'm just a nitpicky bastard. But as far as that black '69 SS/RS.... I don't have a single complaint. Other than that it's not in my garage
