I think I've just.....Ohhhh

(Didn't post as an image as it's about 1600 x 1200 or something)

This is NOT a photoshop images/smilies/eek.gif

It won't look as good with sponsors stickers & stuff on it, but they reckon they will be selling these to the public

You know, I think your right images/smilies/wacko.gif

(I thought the spoiler looked a bit suspect).

But it's official, not a Joke. It would be amazing if they actually made it and it looked like that.

I didn't need a proof to see that this is a photoshop... images/smilies/wink.gif

Renesis · July 14th, 2004, 10:34 PM

yeah the rear looks obviously wrong

zenon · July 14th, 2004, 10:53 PM

Yuck! That's one of the worst photo-chop jobs I've ever seen. Parts of the front bumper are crooked, the back end is badly blurred, and you can see the different levels of compression artifacting in the original bits and the added bits.

Did Aston Martin go out and hire some 13 year old kid off the street to do this? I'm suprised such a great car company would go and release such an awful press image. images/smilies/wacko.gif

OK, so I didn't spot it, I was too amazed at the concept ...

Most people on this forum think (I think) that the DB9 is one of the best looking cars made.

When I saw this I immediately thought of them.

So it's a photoshop, and a bad one... BUT...

THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IT

It is like an Aston Martin DB9 SLR.

Forget the bad photoshop, do you like it?

Renesis · July 18th, 2004, 2:20 AM

no.

I'd rather have a regular DB9

kteO1 · July 18th, 2004, 2:58 AM

i like the db9...how much will it cost?

SiR_dude · July 18th, 2004, 4:11 AM

I'd take one of each - the R for track days, and the regular 9 for cruisin' images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Renesis · July 18th, 2004, 5:19 PM

360CS for track days for me please images/smilies/wink.gif

zyran · July 19th, 2004, 9:15 AM

The front bumper is toooo big, too riced out. It's too elaborate. Should be less exaggerative. The spoiler is a tad to big. Something sexy would do. This is a LUXURY car, not an EVO.

RussTypeS · July 19th, 2004, 3:22 PM

apparently the car is legit, its going to compete in ALMS/ELMS in GT. should be much much faster then your roadgoing "track day" cars. obviously it wont be street legal. i cant wait to see it, im tired of porsche winning everything in GT...

Dark_Templer_102 · July 19th, 2004, 7:33 PM

haha...well anyway i would get the regular one well cuz its not i can even get past 130 in georgia roads...unless i went to Road Atlanta...hell if i got one for free ya i'll take it..but i don't want to spend that much on a car that i couldn't use to its full potential

GTV V6 · July 21st, 2004, 6:33 PM

Is this any better?, at least the shutlines are more defined...

Renesis · July 21st, 2004, 7:30 PM

Still a chop but yea it's better, looks more racy and different from the stock DB9. This one gets a "nice" rating.
