The Aston Martin DBV is a design study by Italian Designer Antonio Paglia
The concept car is as radical as the Vulcan or the AM RB001
The concept has been inspired by the world of aviation

We've loved quite a few concepts from designers and we've even spoken to the maker of the Mahindra Komodo and given you a story about the thought process behind the design of a car as also the inspiration. While the Komodo with the Mahindra badge showed an evolution in design, this rendition of the Aston Martin DBV is something that'll make you drool and go bonkers at the same time. We've already seen the extreme AM-RB 001 which adds its bit of lunacy and even the track-only Vulcan which is basically the answer to all those hypercar fantasies you've ever had. But if you thought that Aston Martin hadn't really upped the lunacy quotient, Italian designer Antonio Paglia has created something that is radical, yet bang on target to make you go gaga over it. Aston Martin DBV Sketches It's called the Aston Martin DBV ad well, no it's all hypothetical because it's just a design study but there's a lot of thought gone into it. Antonio says that the concept is a 'true study' of aerodynamics and forgoes typical Aston Martin design in place of something much more dramatic. He also goes ahead to say that this will have a pure electric powertrain, which in today's world is not impossible but what he also mentions is that the DBV will retain the same performance as the RB001 and the Vulcan; which we'd just shrug off and say 'Yes, of course, it's all hypothetical' but well Antonio has strong reason to believe it'll work well. Aston Martin DBV Front The DBV gets a unique 'split' front-end design which allows for a better drag coefficient, paired with a healthy selection of carbon fibre that keeps the curb weight at a minimum. Antonio says that he was inspired by the world of aviation and that is the reason for the front design as it channels the air all around the car making it extremely aerodynamic. Aston Martin DBV Rear Even if you see the unusual looking front, you'd immediately say that this is not an Aston Martin but there are some aspects where you can see that Antonio has gotten close enough. The minimalist approach, the historic grille, the winged logo and of course the colour scheme all shouts Aston Martin. Aston Martin DBV Side Well, the production of this car will not see the light of day unless Aston Martin or any other car manufacturer decides to make something of it. For the time being though, this design study raises curiosity and probably gives us a peek into the future of automobiles.
