Aston
Martin DBC Supercar Concept
The
Aston Martin DBC concept is the work of Samir Sadikhov, an Azerbaijani designer
who studied at the Istituto Europeo Di Design in Italy, has completed work
experience at Lamborghini, and came second in the international Ferrari World
Design Contest. So a guy well placed to have a go at reinventing an all-new
halo car for Aston Martin. Especially now the One-77 is out of production.
The
Aston Martin DBC concept is a stunning machine whatever way you look at it.
It’s lower, sleeker and more purposeful-looking than any production Aston
Martin. It looks more suited to doing serious battle with the new McLaren P1,
than slowly cruising up and down Monaco’s high street.
Cleverly
Sadikov has avoided making the DBC too much like current Aston Martins, while
still taking care to make sure it looks like it belongs to the brand.
Personally I’m particularly keen on the neat and unfussy rear of the car.
The
mid-engine layout of the DBC concept would be a first for Aston Martin, and
while the concept was primarily intended to just be a bit of design fun,
Sadikov has made sure the concept is also feasible in the real world.
