AUTOCARS COLECTION 2011

Aston Martin Gauntlet build upon the basic design done by Ugur Sahin Design to update Aston’s lineup with a study design. The intent was “to design a car which is technically almost identical to the existing production Aston Martins while defining a design character that outmost respects the impressive history of the brand and combine the timeless lines of the past Aston Martins with the modern interpretation of the existing styling.”

Ugur Sahin note design with the design of nuance to be too retro or futuristic, the look comes off as clean and really appealing to the eye. Key features include Those sexy, organic headlights, a new take on Aston’s wide-mouth grill (previewed on the One-77 hypercar), and – claimed to be cribbed from the DB3S – “high rear and front fenders.”

Some design changes and realized in this car is: brake-heat extractor vents’ lines flowing into the tail spoiler, mirrors emulating the sharp shape of the window surrounds, rear windscreen that’s been molded to flow with the roof’s lines and creased line down the side (in some pics) which makes the car look like it’s wearing an opera mask.
