At the 24h Nurburgring this car qualifyied 12th and after 9 hours it is on 30th position. Not as bad as Lexus from 25 to 44th but still long time to go.

306km/h? That’s 185mph, right? For the price I think 200mph should be minimum. I can’t get excited with this car, I don’t know why. The engine is fantastic there’s no doubt, they’ve been milking it since the DB7, but that package doesn’t do it for me. The tacky hood.

Reckless1 I was wondering aswell about Nissan not taking part. I think to truly showcase a company’s engineering ability at the ‘Ring you need to race the 24Hrs. Porsche are so dominant here it makes the Skyline GTR road car’s record seem a little less significant. That’s how I feel anyway, until Nissan races next year, maybe? That would be interesting. The Abt R8 got close but alas Porsche were still too good.

By the way did you guys see the Ford GT that qualified first? What an amazing story that car has to tell. Winning Le Mans in the late 60s and the same basic shape is still a potent performer 40 years on. I was impressed with that. Gulf just needs to jump back on it for next years event.

Maybe it’s the best Aston ever built, but 3 of the Sciroccos and one A3 finished ahead of them on the road…..Stick with VAG until Bez can get the Aston’s to go a bit faster

Scirocco 15,17,20,101,DNF + Audi A3 19,46
Aston 21,31,36,54,DNF,DNF

Where were the Nissans who claim to have the ‘ring lap record? Too scared to be measured where it counts, it seems.

I like the coloured insert in the brake lights

I believe that one of the key indicators as to whether or not a cars design is “perfect” is if the car looks good in a wide range of colours..

What I mean is that there are a small number of cars which look just as good in Yellow Pink Purple Blue Green etc as they do in the traditional standard Black and White

The Aston Martin is one of those cars as shown in the above photos.. sure the blue might not be to everyones taste but it grabs your attention and it still looks good

I say this because as in Fashion there are a few lucky people who no matter what colour they wear they still look good and the same applies to cars – afterall in a way a car is also a fashion statement is it not? a means of expressing yourself and your “individuality”

the two scirocco’s at the top look really aggressive.
