STUD OR DUD? F1 Inspired Aston Martin Valkyrie In Almost Production Trim

Revealed in a promotional shot with tennis player Serena Williams, the headlights replace the placeholders put on previous development cars, and while we believe they will make it onto the production car, have not been finally confirmed by Aston Martin as the final pieces. 

The car is around 90% production ready, according to an Aston Martin spokesman; the remaining 10% is likely to be final tweaks to the car's aerodynamics as development of the lights and other road-essential features are rounded off.

It's a rather ugly car. From the side it's almost impossible to tell which way it's pointed. It has ZERO Aston DNA. It's not even a dud. It's a fail.

"The devil's in the details," as they say, and when you take a look at the close-up pics -- front, back, or side -- it's a mess! Mind you, when you leave these details invisibly hidden in the shadows, like in the picture at the top of this web page, it looks attractive from that angle... nice, though arguably excessively swoopy.

Two thumbs down from me.

I get it...its fast. But when will someone make a hyper car that is actually beautiful to look at. Maybe it will not be the fastest but women and young children will swoon when it drives by. Shows are called Concours d'Elegance not Concours d'Ground Force!

I would prefer my supercar/hypercar to not have a chin spoiler that sticks out 2 feet. I would want it to be a weekly driver at a minimum, not a museum piece.

Who cares about how it looks? With a screaming normally aspirated 6.5 liter V12 and 1000hp this will surely be more thrilling to drive than the AMG Project One and its wheezing little 1.6 liter turbo V6.

I would want to see NHTSA crash test results before I took a ride in one, much less bought one. Carbon tub or not there does not seem much to this "car" when you look underneath. Suspension control arms will not save you in a crash.
