davey_83 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think the new DBS looks good, instantly recognisable. Manufactures get battered when they produce evolutions of previous models ie VW Golf or 911 as the designers are called lazy. Then when manufactures try a new design language, they're battered again for being to daring 720s, DB11, New Civic Type R. Its a great thing not all GT and Super Cars look the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great thing not all GT and Super Cars look the same Yet but id say the majority is the other way. Its easy to pick out the critised but with so much stuff coming out designer's do get it right The new camaro for example Is Horrific yet the. New mustang and Challenger look great. All manufactures go through ugly spots Honda mclaren and Aston are entering theirs But I would say the likes jaguar Ford and. Kia over last decaded have hit it out the park with every new version looking better than the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yeah i wasnt that smitten until i went to MacLaren knightsbridge with a mate and it was on a turntable, truly stunning in the flesh, just about every angle looked stunning, my mate has a 458 Spider and we also parked next to one in the underground car park, i have to be honest, it made the 458 look pretty average imho.

davey_83 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 To be fair the 350z is the classic 'better in flesh' car. From pictures it's hard to gauge it's proportions and it seems a much bigger car than it is, when in fact it's shorter than a 987 Boxster.

coldel Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Proportions on the Senna look wrong in that photo, the bodywork looks massive compared to the wheels. The Valkyrie looks fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The Valkyrie looks like it's got a two headed axe slung across the body. Very fitting name, personally I think it looks truly awesome and if I had the cash I'd buy one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Again as said, function more than form, but if I had the money I'd turn both down on the looks alone. I still maintain that for Mclaren...looks wise, the 12C coupe was just fine, rear lights a bit of a hit or miss but the profile etc ...classic supercar look. However, you gotta evolve somehow...
