Introducing the Aston Martin Bulldog Supercar Concept!

The Aston Martin Bulldog is one of those fantasy cars that looks incredible but for some reason never came to fruition. Bulldog isn’t exactly the greatest name, we can think of many others, such as SuperWedge or Starship Future Car or BattleStar Wedge. Those Star Wars / TRONesk days (we’re dating ourselves) are far behind us, but dang those late 70’s concept cars still look cool!

The Aston Martin Bulldog was styled by William Towns of DBS and Lagonda 4-door Saloon fame as a test concept in 1979. The concept is left-hand-drive, which is odd for a UK car. The doors open gullwing style and the driver instrumentation is all digital LED readouts similar to the AM Lagonda. It’s powered by a Garrett AirResearch V8 with twin turbochargers, which is rumored to produce between 650 - 700bhp. A high speed test of 192 mph was recorded, but it’s top speed is said to be well over 200mph.....

Jagspeed just angry that the Aston Martin designer will no longer be working with Jaguar to design there cars, such as the XK...

Still...for its time...the Delorean DMC was awesome...Back to the Future...come on...it was art.

When Jaguar was owned by ford, the Aston designed was used to design the XK...and just taking from the posters name....jagspeed, I just concluded he was bitter that he was left in the dust. Jaguar that is.

"When Jaguar was owned by ford"

erm...Jaguar is still owned by Ford. I think what has happened is that you have messed up the facts a bit. The XK and whichever Aston Martin you are thinking of, are not the same design. The XK and the original redesigned Aston Martin, the DB7, have the same designer:Ian Callum. Ian Callum became Design Director for Jaguar cars in 1999. He does not work for Aston Martin, in fact he never really has. The DB7 was designed whilst he was at the consulting firm TWR.

I thought the Delorean was designed with Lotus?
