I looks just like a Jaguar
Kinda... It looks fucking sexy, is what it looks like. It stood out against a backdrop of other cars and said, "You want to drive me. I am sexy."
It was a fairly successful GT4 car at the time.
She is super sexy
I bet it is a great ride!
I hope so!
By the way, it's amusing that you too said it looked like a Jag. Everyone said that - and it was. There was actually a Jag version. Look at the XK8 and XKR. See, Ford owned both companies at the time.
The car was designed/spec'ed by a dude that raced Jags. Well, the car he raced was long in the tooth so he tried to get a new one. For reasons, he had to go to Aston - who jumped on the idea and produced this car. Jag saw that it was awesome and built not just one version of this car - but two versions of this car.
The value of them was pretty low, but has spiked. I stole it for 28k as a long-term investment. I figure it'll be worth 100k in a decade or so.
They were $100,000+ cars. even then. They were like the cheapest Aston examples at the time, with price parity with some Ferrari models. So, while they sold - and sold in good numbers - they were never really cheap or anything.
