I can't wait to see the fully finished AMV8...the concept just keeps looking better and better, even next to the gorgeous new 997.

I agree, the DB9 looks incredible and the AMV8 looks like its going to follow the DB9's lead...I can't wait till they get in the U.S. I think they should sell fairly well here since the price tag is supposed to be fairly resonable..

great article...thanks so much for scanning it...I'm begining to like the 997, it's kinda growing on me, I used to think it looked like a beattle on steroids...but now well I think it looks ok...

the AMV8 is gorgeous...ever since I first saw it I loved it...I can't wait to see the final version, I hope it performs as good as it looks...with the AMV8 in the picture, i would say goodbye to the 911 and probably the 360...

Thanks for the scan noosee. It looks like finally a new 911 will be able to dethrone the 911 2.7 RS as the best 911 ever. I look forward to seeing the 997 in action.

I still hold that the AMV8 has one of the best asses in the business.

Funny that Ulrich Bez influenced the rear end of the Aston to look like 993, which he created when he was at Porsche

lol...doesn't look too much like the 993 to me...though I suppose I can see the influence...the curvature of the rear end (with some imagination) could parallel the curvature of the 993 from side to side at any rate. Top to bottom though...I don't see it hehe.

The new 911 really looks excellent, but compared to the AMV8 even this looks like shit :shock:
