Aston Martin Viceroy Design Study

No, we are not talking about a pack of smokes carrying the logos of the famous British luxury manufacturer on a side, but about the brainchild of Christopher Chilcott, a student at the Swansea Metropolitan University.

Created by an individual who describes himself as “not left handed or from a mechanical background” the Viceroy concept has been intended as a celebration of being British, with all the traits which come with this background.

The car draws inspiration from the “golden mile of tailoring,” as the Savile Row shopping street in London is known. Not from the design standpoint, but from the point of view of a car which, according to the designer, screams bespoke.

The Viceroy brings to the world both already traditional Aston Martin cues and more nontraditional ones. It looks like it has been cast into one piece, with no joints or welds, with convex and concave surfaces mixing together for one unexpected look from an Aston Martin.

Chilcott has not provided any details on what the model is supposed to be using as a means of propulsion, but we don't have a hard time imagining the Viceroy buzzing along, rather than raging with the full force of eight cylinders.

“The Aston’s muscularity and presence is the pivotal ingredient for the design to express itself as being a pure British thoroughbred,” the designer says according to Car Body Design.

Volkswagen has acknowledged the talent of the 22-year old designer, who is currently attending a Master in Transportation Design at the Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan on a VW scholarship.
