While I don’t always see eye-to-eye with the design philosophy of Ugur Sahin, I cannot help but admire his spirit. He sees the world of luxury and high-design automobiles and think, “you know, I could do that better”. The Ugur Sahin Aston Martin Gauntlet Conceptis the latest in this designer’s vision for world class automobiles. While it is hard to improve on anything Aston Martin, Sahin has shown his own perspective on this legendary auto brand. The Aston Martin Gauntlet is a lovely facelift on the One-77 and the DB AR1 by Aston Martin, and the result is certainly worth a good, hard look.

Its extremely flat silhouette is flanked by sharply outlined edges, the curved surface appears to be unpolished, rough, precious. The aerodynamic system uses movable wings to ...
