This Aston Martin DBV Concept Car Is Certainly A Looker

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.

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.

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.

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.
