Aston Martin DP-100 Concept Looks Like a British Pagani

A team under the supervision of Aston Martin design boss Marek Reichman came up with a mid-engined car infused with carbon fiber. Looking like something the Italians would make, a single, long line flows from the grille over the greenhouse to the taillights, giving this concept a futuristic look. Because of the giant engine placed in the middle, the passenger cell sits right at the front, something we've seen on the Huayra as well.

Another thing this Aston has in common with the Pagani is the engine. Well… it's not the exact same one, but you don't come across two hypercars with twin-turbo V12s every day. The Brit packs 800bhp from this setup, which they say is in line with the fast-paced action of the game. That said, it's not a whole lot more than the amazing One-77.

Following a debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed today, the DP-100 concept will be available for download in July, together with all the other Vision Gran Turismo 6 concepts.

“DP-100 has been an exciting and intensive project for the team here at Gaydon. Features such as the car’s revolutionary ‘active aerodynamics’ are there not just as a way of enhancing form, but also to support the car’s function in-game. As with the CC100 Speedster Concept, many of the design cues visible in DP-100, such as the light blade rear lamps, could also feed through into future sports cars that we’ll launch in the offline world so the importance of this project should not be underestimated,” said Aston Martin Design Director Marek Reichman.
