PIC: Something different #153 (7/17/2026)

I find it hard to believe that this would ever have been considered for production instead of the DB7 which was an absolute classic.

This one is far too egg shaped, a fashion for several brands back in 1993. Interesting thought though, John.

It is SO different, so unique, that I actually, really like it. It is obvious from the build and materials, that it is a high-dollar, well-made machine. But the more I look at it, the more I can conceptually accept it and like the styling!

Totally different - way to go JOHN!

It is different, lol. I love the interior design. Not so much the exterior. 😊

Yes, interesting, and, yes, a bit too egg-shaped, although some pics in the article make it look worse, while in others it maybe looks less "eggy"

but they could definitely have made it a bit lower and less balloon-shaped.

And no, it doesn't even remotely fit in with any conceivable Aston Martin "image", and it's too soft-looking and not aggressive enough or imposing enough to be a Lagonda either.

Looking at the pictures, with that rather bulbous roof and sloping rear end, it did rather remind me of the Bugatti EB118 (2 door) and EB228 (4 door) cars styled by Giugaro of Italdesign, which were intended to revive the Bugatti brand under VW ownership. They were shown at the 1998 Paris Motor Show but never made it into production.

Both were nicely modelled in 1:43 by AutoArt

@graeme-ogg, thanks for the pics.

I fear that I msy be treading on eggshells here but my grey matter is too “scrambled” to comment on its design.

Thanks Graeme, a great analysis.

great comment Graeme, articulates my thoughts exactly. Having said that it I'd still love a model of it. I couldn't find any 'real' videos. Here's an auction sale. Note the difference between the estimate and the actual sale price.
