It has gills like Kevin Costner in Waterworld?
From that angle it’s got a little bit of a GT-R look to it. The giant “gills” on the side are freaking hideous.
And I had just got used to the more tank-like batmobile
I think my cousin bought a body kit for his 89′ CRX that looked a lot like that front bumper, and he left it with only primer for about a year. It looked about as good as this car does.
Looks as if the whole front end is being forcefully separated from the car, starting with the right side. If I were that car’s engine, I’d ditch that hideous Aquaman from as well.
Looks like the GTR front end is a popular one this year.
Overdone.
There was a time when Aston expressed themselves with subtlety and restraint, making TRULY beautiful cars. History has properly rewarded them with the status of an icon.
The monstrosity of the One-77 pictured above however is just hideously overdone. It is as if the designer came from the Killer Japanese Seizure Robot school of thought. Scoops and slats, ribs and gills, creases and bulges… ALL AT ONCE. Way too much guys. The future will look back in embarrassment.

It’s the 1st Aston Martin in a long time (ever?) to look ugly.
It doesn’t have pink, red, green, etc. lipstick around the grill, that’s what’s not wrong with it.
So long, AM.
It’s about to get chased by two Alfas full of machine guns?
AKM said it perfectly. Aston Martin has always been about elegance, restraint and proportion. They jumped a little to the dark side with the DBS and its boy-racer cliche bits, but this beastie has taken a couple too many sips from the ugly fountain.
I feel like this picture needs a caption a la LOLcats:
WIDER CAR IZ WIDERRRRRR
Please, please tell me you can close those things when you’re done firing the surface-to-surface missiles Q stuffed in there….
*looks in garage for a can of gas and a match
This may be the automotive equivalent of a mustachioed Mona Lisa. Or, more accurately, a Mona Lisa with huge, frightening looking gashes cut in the canvas and some extra chins painted in.
OH MY GOD IT’S TRANSFORMING!!
*cue Transformers sequence*
Many times, I find these “what’s wrong with this picture” threads to be much ado about nothing.
This is not one of those times.
It’s the 1st Aston Martin in a long time (ever?) to look ugly.
Sady, no.
The brake air scoops are ugly. We’ll stick with the Vantage and DBS, thank you.
Sheesh; rough neighborhood here!
It’s an interesting picture and a good looking sports car. I wouldn’t banish it from my garage, and I sure would like to be seen driving around on one of these.
There’s nothing wrong with the picture. At least it’s not another picture of an incompetent auto exec or bloviating congressman/woman/thing.
Monday looks to be the start of a really bad week. We should all try to enjoy the weekend as much as humanly possible. I suggest a weekend moratorium on depressing pictures of junkyard wrecks and ugly or incompetent bigwigs or ugly or incompetent lifelong politicians. There will be PLENTY of opportunity for these things next week.
In the meantime, more sportscars, gorgeous scenery, and pretty girls. Not necessarily in that order of course, and bonus points if you can fit all three into one picture!
Look at the size of the driver compared to the
car! It looks like four people could sit shoulder to shoulder in the front.
Ah the joys of Photoshop deception. Even at that speed if the camera’s shutter speed was high enough to capture the car in that sharp detail, the wheels wouldn’t be blurred like they are.
I’m assuming the reference to Yuma is to do with the fact that the photographer would have to be in a train moving at speed beside the car in order to generate that much background blur. Or perhaps the train is painted like a road on top and the car is sitting on that with the photographer perilously trying to take a photo without falling off. Either that or he’s comfortably in front of his computer screen smudging it with 1’s and 0’s.
It would have been fine, if it wasn’t for those gills. It’s not as bad as some of you are making it out to be, but at that price point, it should be pretty much perfect.
SCOOOOP THERE IT IS!
I will not pay huge money for a car that will always look like it is crying from the front. Look, if it is overdone, make it aggressive or sporty or something.
If only there were a small section of the “gill” or whatever that was NOT connected to the headlight. Oh well, too late, it’s ruined.
Looks like mascara running down the face of a hot girl. Only at that point, it’s not so hot anymore.
