About four years extent: 2020, but that this vision of the future of ItalDesign for Aston Martin in this year are not really documentary evidence, the reality, is already clear.

At the time, appeared to be the Twenty Twenty, for which an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, his organs gave, pretty futuristic, but fifteen years later, it is clear that Aston Martin is really a other path is taken. For the visible construction of the car was Giorgetto Giugiaro use of blank aluminium, traditionally the material of which Aston’s to be built, though it was the DB7 this is a rare exception. The sheet metal of the in Geneva proposed concept is largely made of carbon.

What is striking is the targa-construction, Aston Martin applied this namely never a production model. It seems the Twenty Twenty is a pure two-seater, but under the leather-upholstered top are two aged child in hiding. Under the hood lies a 6-litre V12 with around 500 hp, which you also fifteen years later is still fine for the day. Literally, for the Twenty Twenty is a fully functioning prototype, which you have so away so you can drive. Where the concept is at this moment, is not known. Is the prototype already spotted with other wheels, so it could just be that he are days to wear off in the garage of a collector. I think that Vredestein car in 2003 at the AutoRAI has shown to her by Giugiaro designed tires to promote.

After all these years, it is not only the relatively small wheels or the small lcd screen in the dashboard that make it clear that the Twenty Twenty from a different decade. Also the design itself, especially the back, looks meanwhile, a little stricken in age. Still intact are the external hinges of the doors.
