Aston Martin Gauntlet Design Concept

I’m undecided whether “gauntlet” is a cool name for a concept car or a really nerdy one. It reminds me a little too much of Dungeons and Dragons. In spite of the name (or in addition to it), the Gauntlet concept looks pretty sexy. Even smoother than an actual Aston, something about it makes me want to rub it down in cocoa butter and admire the sheen. But that’s probably just me.

The concept hails from design firm Ugur Sahin Design, which sought to create a car ” technically almost identical to the existing production Aston Martins while defining a design character that outmost respects the impressive history of the brand and combine the timeless lines of the past Aston Martins with the modern interpretation of the existing styling.” A hefty task to say the least, but we really think they succeeded.
