From the Official Aston Forum:

380bhp
410 lb ft of torque
1570 kg
0-60 mph 4.8
0-100 mph 10.7
30-70 mph faster than new 911 C2S
Laps The Ring in 8.07 mins. Don't trust Clarckson

(8.05 for C2S and 8.01 for DB9)

Externally very similar to concept, but different wheels.
Similar interior to DB9 except different steering wheel and wood on dash replaced by metal or carbon fibre as standard with wood as option.
Colour of launch car to be Metallic Canary yellow! :shock:

Ok, so what do you think of it? I think it looks much better than the 911, but it's too heavy...

Very Nice GT, in reality the choice is this or CLK55, or 645Ci, and maybe a regular 911. I still dont see it competiting with a Carrera S, the weight just restricts it to much. Still this is a very very very good car.

nice, thanks for the info, 380hp and 410 tq seem to be pretty respectable numbers and such a beautiful shape. anyone know what the pricing is going to look like?

*waiting to see the official pics of the production model*

Price should be between the 911 Carrera S and the Turbo.

Why does Aston make their cars so heavy?? They have the knowledge and the technology to do much better. The Vanquish for example..Carbon fibre+aluminium and over 1800kg's in weight. I'm not moaning because the car has a phenomenal laptime, but it has even more potantial that has to put up with the weight and carry it where ever it goes.

Canary yellow...doesn't suit an Aston

Muich better looking that the BMW or 911 , as clarkson said , prolly the best looking aston ever

Well, who of the future Aston Owners will really use this thing on the ring. Almost none. The important stuff is, you look way better in an Aston in front of the 4 Seasons, than you do in a 911.
And even if it was pink with brown stars on it.. I still would want one.

My 2 cents worth

Damn... I just realized, it's almost time to change my animation

AMV8 already presented to the press/public?? It seems so:

1zippo1 · 01-27-2005, 01:33 PM

Definitly a cool looking car. It's one that seems to be flow out of a sci-fi movie IMO.

I hope this will mean that we won't have to wait to long for the first reviews of the car!!

Thx for the pics TT.

Nice rims, depending on how it'll perform, I just might like it more than the DB9.

mclaren_Gt · 01-27-2005, 02:31 PM

Looks like they didn't changed much of the prototype styling. Which is very good

I like it, I like it very much.

|Nuno| · 01-27-2005, 03:31 PM

Nice car. Bad colour. Thanks for the pics TT.

It looks very similar to the DB9
