Concept Photos: Aston Martin Volare

Some people think that Aston Martins are way too harmful for the environment and their large displacement engines, beside the fact that they bring out a huge output, have a very negative effect on the natural world. James Trim is a 23-year-old designer who knew that Aston Martins can be efficient too while maintaining the same level of performance and, because the company hasn't released such a model yet, he decided to make one of his own.

So here are the concept photos of a so-called Aston Martin Volare, a new two-seater model that incorporates a high-power fuel cell stack, located between the front seats and a rear mounted battery back powering the co-axial electric unit at the front, as the designer explains on his personal website.

There are two hydrogen storage tanks installed above the rear axle, thus contributing to the overall weight distribution. Thanks to the aforementioned specifications, the car would remain emission free but would not neglect the performance one would expect from an Aston Martin, the designed said.

"The underlying aim when designing the Volare was to combine present day technologies with the profile of a car that would be instantaneously recognisable as that of an Aston Martin," James Trim wrote on his website. "The Aston Martin Volare would retain the fantastic sound and outright performance customary with that of a petrol equivalent, but would provide drivers the world over with equal amounts of guilt free motoring."

Up until now, the car is nothing more than a design study so we can't help but wonder what are the guys over at Aston Martin think about this.
