    I like that he took a elegant piece and added brute but futuristic bladerunner, mad max design to it. Not for the faint hearted but for the risk taker who goes outside of the norms.. Good piece +Drive

    So I bought me an Aston, copied a bunch of Aston stylin cues, then put all together using the Aston I bought. it's completely my design.

    Why? Took one of the most gorgeous and elegant car designs ever, and made it bulbous and aggressive. There's plenty of other cars that you can improve on visually, the DB9 is not one of them.

    I used to work at a Land Rover dealership, I worked on multiple Kahn design cars and they are one of the dodgiest companies out there. The parts are cheap and break, ALOT.

      Wheels are ace, and the larger grille is nicely more agressive.

    There is an '02 db7 vantage convertible down the road from me with 22,000 miles, flawless paint and interior for sale for $32,000. I stopped and talked to the guy and he said he would take $25k.
    There just isn't another v12 sports car around that can be had at the steal it prices of some Austins.
    If that car wasn't a convertible I would have brought it home that day.

    His introductory story is nice & all but it's a pipe dream for most people. He said he was poor yet studied architecture? If you're truly poor you can't afford extra schooling after highschool. Let alone likely be attending a good school that has the resources to enable your graduation in the first place. When your: hands are tied by the state, feet are bound by upbringing & confidence crushed by business practices. That's a situation no one can climb out of without winning the lottery or something.

    Actually, I think it's gorgeous. It's definitely age-regressed and less sophisticated, but it is truly mean without being contemptuous and has a personal theme that feels all of a piece.

  • @noabiervliet3821
    @noabiervliet3821 7 лет назад +3

    The idea is there but the bodylines dont flow into each other. The rear looks much wider than the rest of the car and that makes it look like it was enlarged and pasted on. It could be a great car if it was a little more polished

  • @ronny1990
    @ronny1990 7 лет назад

    I differ from many of the comments in the comment section.
    To me it looks like a much more meaner version of an Aston.
    It looks something like James Bond''s evil doppelganger would drive. The design is truly a bit too much, but surely exudes the spirit of vengeance from every angle and every curve.

    This is the antithesis of putting lipstick on a pig. Kahn’s designs have never been inspiring or beautiful (imo) He has a unique ability to bring gaudiness to beauty. I don’t doubt he was on the design team at GM when they pinned the Aztec.

    There's always one thing that makes British luxury car manufactures stand out from the rest and that's Elegance and class Aston Martin and Rolls Royce have mastered this.
    And Khan decides to go and take out that elegance and class from the Aston, basically ruining it.
