Five years ago I created a photoshop chop image of an Aston Martin Lagonda Limousine Dragster. Ever since then I wondered what an accompagnying shop truck could look like. Today, while watching the 24h race of the Nürburgring, I finally did it. From the front to the B-pillar it is 100% original, but everything further back has been modified. In order to prevent the vehicle to look tail-heavy, I decided to add a window just aft of the B-pillar. This makes the vehicle look more elegant and concentrates more optical weight in the center of the car. And to make an already long car look even longer, I lowered it. Larger diameter wheels with less sidewall give it a more modern look and the pinstripe is the icing on the cake. Now – who wouldn’t love to haul parts for the shop with this rig?

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a beautiful car, no doubt about it. However, the design of the lower rear end is debatable. This is why I choose the side view to create my idea of a low drag coupé. Chopping about an inch from the roof and lowering the car go a long way in improving the overall appearance. I could have removed the bumpers and chrome trim to suit the idea better, but decided to keep them to retain the classic look.

Visiting the 2012 Nitrolymp’x at the Hockenheimring last weekend inspired me to create a couple of dragsters with photoshop. And because mainstream isn’t really my cup of tea, I used a couple of rather unlikely cars as a base: the Aston Martin Lagonda Limousine and the Talbot Lago T23 Teardrop Coupé by Figoni & Falaschi. Chances of seeing this conversion done in reality? Probably next to nothing 😉

This Aston Martin Vantage GT2 livery design has been created for the 2010 DUNLOP Tyres 24 Heures du Mans Livery Contest.
My idea was to use the basic shape of the provided fingerprint style slogan “Feel the Road” to create a livery resembling a tiger fur. On one hand I wanted the Aston Martin racecar to look fast and beautiful like a tiger or cheetah. On the other hand, I wanted to retain an element of classic racing heritage – the racing stripes. This was done by adding white to the tire tread element.
