Paint It White: Aston Martin One-77 in blanc is outstanding



Truth be told, it never occurred to us to imagine the Aston Martin One-77 in white – we're still digesting the deep black beast we'd recently come to know. Aston Martin has more time to play with the coupe than we do, and they decided to drape it in white for a supercar convoy celebrating the reopening of Silverstone's new grand prix circuit. To quote Kurupt and Cam'ron: "They done did it!" And it makes our eyes very, very happy to see...

It looks kind of bland in white And the wheels aren't expressive enough for this machine But I'd still hit it

It looks very bland and underwhelming in white IMHO.

I think it looks much better in silver or black.

Or the rear panel, or the side for that matter. But yeah, the front is the worst. It really seems like they're trying way too hard with the design.

those are led taillights, and leds flash at super high speeds, they might have taken a picture just in between one of these 'flashes'. Or it could be a turn signal.

I think this car would look great in a dark-ish titanium color.

The design of the rear is so clean, why is the front so fussy? I think this car looks best in a dark color.
