Ugur Sahin comes up with Gauntlet concept design for Aston Martin

Ugur Sahin is the Turkish car designer who is a force to reckon with when it comes to mouth watering design for luxury cars. His design philosophy created curvy speed monsters like the Corvette Z03, GT-S Passionata, and the Ferrari Dino even more beautifule.

The designer recently decided to update the Aston Martin lineup with his concept called the Gauntlet. Only someone like Ugur Sahin can think of improving the beautiful cars of the Aston Martin lineup. Respecting the rich history of the car manufacturer, the designer comes with a perfect blend of his perspective and our favorite elements of an Aston Martin.

Ugur Sahin was able to come up with a brutal and magnetic concept design called the Gauntlet as inspired by the old Db35 with hints from the DB AR1 and the One-77. You can also see cues from the Maserati Gran Turismo and 8C Competizione to make the design even more terrific.

The concept is very clean as it never tries too hard to look too futuristic nor too retro. The Gauntlet Concept features the wide-mouth grille typical of an Aston Martin, high fenders for both front and rear, and the organic, sexy headlamps.

We fall in love with the side mirrors which emulates the sharp lines of the windows surround. The rear windshield also flows nicely following the lines of the roof. The creased lines on the sides are also a nice touch, giving the car a look of person wearing an opera mask.

The concept’s name Gauntlet represents the lines which emotionally complement each other to give that feeling of a solid, protective armor on the roll according to Ugur Sahin.

The concept is just stunning. Period. It will not be bad if Aston Martin will fall for this concept.
