Aston Martin V8 Vantage S "Red Bull Racing" '2017

Aston Martin DB10

It might not be a production model (ten units of the DB 10 were manufactured for the film “Spectre” and only one of the lals was auctioned), but rest assured the DB10 is a sure-fire window into the future design language that will serve as a blueprint for the next generation of Aston Martin’s road cars.They built the car in a staggering six months – usually it takes several years to design and build a new car. Its underpinnings are V8 Vantage S, but the DB10 is slightly longer and gets a much wider track.One look at those flared-out hips sitting on extra-wide Pirelli 305s (almost as wide as Aston’s One-77 hypercar) and you instantly recognise this as something entirely different to the current Vantage.

Like the DB5, there’s a natural simplicity to the DB10’s shape that is its most captivating feature. It’s staggeringly beautiful from any angle, with that rare combination of macho and elegance in equal measure – something Aston Martin’s designers have been realising for decades, despite critical ups and downs along the way. The shut lines have been reduced to a bare minimum and the clamshell bonnet seems to go on forever, as if the entire carbon-fibre body is one seamless form.The bonnet vents are special too – just a series of perfectly machined holes, rather than the usual two-piece unit, and only visible to the eye up close. Engineers used heat mapping in order to position the holes for the maximum cooling effect. Under the bonnet is the same naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V8 from the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S, so it sounds extra angry due to the removal of much of the sound-deadening material.
