Today I saw this car, and I was puzzeled ...looks '80s and Italian, but what is it, my guess, some kind of Maserati, what do you guys think

Kind of cool looking, in an odd way...and daaamn is that hood long, it must have a large engine.

A pic I took tonight: :shock:

^^^^ This is an rare an awesome Aston Martin Lagonda V8 !

Thanks for the pix sentra_dude, I always liked this very original car.

Shoot, I was completely wrong, an Aston! I hope I at least got the '80s part right...I thought the emblem looked like Aston Martin wings, but I figured there was no way it was an Aston, and I wasn't really supposed to be taking pics of that car either, so I was in a hurry and couldn't get a very close look.

You took those pics yourself and didnt know it was an aston? I can see the emblem all over it.

From any angle but dead straight on I think it looks quite nice, even elegant from some angles. Certainly different anyway!

I like it from a rear 3/4 view, like on the second pic. Don't like the front though.
I saw one in the streets years ago. I hung around because the person who apparently was the owner looked like he was going to leave. I did that for two reasons: 1) to see if it would start (unlike when the car was launched

) and 2) if it would start, what it would sound like.
I can tell you there's nothing wrong with the way it sounds!

512BBi sitting outside.

An F40, Viper GTS, some Panteras, 308, 355, an M3, and Porsche 944 inside; again, they don't like people taking pictures, so the 2 pics I got were shitty.

Wow, very nice rare spotting. It's the most unusal AM and the longest i think. I have only ever seen one and got one pic of the back. This pic was taken when i was on the way back from my holiday in London in 2003. I remember looking behind us and seeing it passing on the motorway somewhere in England. I only had time to get a pic of the back.
