Critics style Aston Martin are few. Just can you blame the brand a "too large" coherent range of products with sometimes difficult to distinguish from each other for an untrained eye.

However, some designers believe they can make a more personal touch to the creations of Gaydon. This is particularly the case of Ugur Sahin Design, which presents a concept version of the Gauntlet "coachbuilt" of the Aston Martin DB9.

In this dream menu designer, you immediately notice the headlights folded more than usual, the massive grille reminiscent of Aston Martin One-77 as the two paths of the air intake supervisor.

The traditional side scoop has also been revised to adopt a form that is reminiscent of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

The back playing with the codes established by the Aston Martin Vanquish and new versions. The exhausts are built to high and grill overlooking a broadcaster. Boomerang headlights evoke without identically reproducing the stern of current English. The roofline is elusive blend with the wheel in a small spoiler.

The ensemble offers a consistency with the brand, but look like a vague Photoshop a current model. Clearly, the Aston Martin Gauntlet will perhaps not appreciated by everyone, but it is difficult to deny that the creation is successful.

And no wonder this because Ugur Sahin is a frequent proposals "inspired by". The Turkish designer we had already delivered some time ago a modern vision of the Dino and must always build his Corvette Z03 lines superb.

It is unlikely to see the Aston Martin Gauntlet one day on the road, and that is unfortunate. Hopefully, however, a rich owner Ugur Sahin Design instructs him to carry on a basic DB9 as Pininfarina have done now with the Enzo Ferrari P4 / 5.
