Over the previous few years, my automotive focus has been drawn from achingly stunning basic vehicles, towards one thing newer: Hybrids, EVs, and various new applied sciences. I wish to hold present, and meaning monitoring current tendencies and developments within the automotive trade.
However when probably the most stunning automobile I’ve seen in a long time comes alongside — and has a beastly 656+ HP — effectively, I revert to my default petrolhead standing and drool one thing that seems like arghgeghh…
The images are merely gorgeous: From the huge entrance grill to the muscular haunches, the eye-catching rear fenders, flowing indents, and that attractive tail bob, every part about this automobile screams Magnificence AND Beast. Even the inside, lengthy an Aston Martin weak spot, seems incredible.

-Most Torque: 800NM (2000-5000 rpm)
-0-62 in 3.5 seconds (0-100km/h)
-Prime pace: 202mph (325kph)

What Aston calls “Podium Inexperienced and Lime” seems like a cross between AMG’s Inexperienced Magno Hell and British Racing Inexperienced with acid yellow trim is spectacular (Perhaps it’s Ion or Aston Martin Racing Inexperienced). The total palette of colours learn moist, stunning, and nuanced. It comes within the widest vary of selections I can recall from AM, from in-your-face oranges and neon to refined blacks, greys, and silvers. I have a tendency to love vehicles in Blue, as they’re much less cliched and rarer — try the low-key Ion Blue.
I had no concept this was popping out till I watched it on Harry’s Storage. No rear wheel steer or heavy hybrid batteries, only a monster Mercedes-sourced twin-turbo AMG engine. I think about the parents in Stuttgart are taking discover — anybody available in the market for a Porsche 911 Turbo S now has to determine how a lot magnificence they will deal with.
If that is the ICE period’s final hurrah, we’re actually going out on high…
