I guess at 750 hp the Plethore doesn't qualify?

I think the Bentley will do just nicely for me.  ;) 
Although if I'm offered a drive of any of the others I certainly wouldn't complain.  :D

Love the 599 a lot, but given the choice and since there isn't an Enzo on there. I'll have the Aston too!

Patience, a new Enzo is coming. Ferrari is hinting at 800 HP. Or so.

Watch your fingers on that keyboard Dare, it's AstOn, not AstIn, must be something to do with humping those big balls down the alley.  :tease:

Uh-oh. By misspelling AstOn, you are disqualified from any further opinions on this subject.  :crazy:

I stand corrected.One question when did they change the name
to Aston?I distinctly remember James Bond driving a Astin Martin :tease:

Don't know what James Bond reference you mean, but the people who sell them think it's Aston Martin:

And Carroll Shelby won the 1959 Le Mans 24 in an Aston Martin DBR-1

I think I'll put a copyright on the name Astin Martin just in case Aston
Martin try to swipe  it.

Instead of the Aston Martin One-77, maybe Dare was thinking of an Austin 7.

I seen that pic on World of Car Fans myself. Made me go all tingly.  :yahoo:

Makes the new Lamborghini look a bit 1980's IMO.

Post by: Scott on February 27, 2012, 08:22:29 AM
I haven't seen a Lambo that didn't look a bit (or a lot) 1980's.  I'd say the 620 has some borrowed looks though...did they hire someone from Aston?

Don't see it Scott, there isn't much Aston in the design IMO. I thinks it's unmistakably Ferrari V12 GT.

Post by: Scott on February 27, 2012, 09:10:59 PM
I think Ferrari has adopted big Aston-like grills in the past few years (most Ferrari's used to have below bumper, split grills/intakes, while this one isn't.  Although there is perceptibly no bumper on the 620, the grill is quite large).  Anyhow, the more I look at GT's from the 60's, I see where they directed the design team.  No offence David...   :tease:

Definitely see Aston lines in it, they're all copying the beautiful Aston lines.
Title: Re: The 600 hp club

Both stunning but nothing alike.  :DntKnw:

Title: Re: The 600 hp club
Post by: Ian on February 27, 2012, 10:47:54 PM
Look at the 620 and compare it to the One-77, especially the rear lines Dave, Jaguar also have Aston lines.
Title: Re: The 600 hp club
Post by: lkjohnson1950 on February 28, 2012, 03:31:06 AM
Should be a real rocket, but I still like the looks of the Aston.
