Introducing the Aston Martin Thunderbolt Concept

โ€” 16 April 2015

Introducing the prettiest Aston Martin you will see for a long time.

Based on the Aston Martin Vanquish, the Thunderbolt is the brainchild of renowned ex Aston Martin designer, Henrik Fisker. Fiskerโ€™s previous notable design work includes the BMW Z8, and the gorgeous Aston Martin DB9. โ€œI wanted to create an elegant beautiful GT sports coupe, with pure emotional sculpture, that would stay timeless,โ€ Fisker said.

Sporting a monster aluminium grille and triangular air intakes, the Thunderboltโ€™s stunning lines come from hand-laid carbon fibre bodywork. The interior features a first-of-itโ€™s-kind 11.6in curved infotainment system from Panasonic, and a Maurice Locroix โ€œSkeletonโ€ chronograph in the dashboard. Under the hood is the Vanquishโ€™s 6.0 litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing 568hp and 630Nm,

Fisker has stated that the Thunderbolt is not endorsed by Aston Martin; and while currently design only, will consider production on a special order basis. However you will need to provide a Vanquish for the Thunderbolt to be built upon.

If you happen to have a Vanquish and $400,000 lying around for the conversion, a special order Thunderbolt will be just the ticket to gaping jaws everywhere you drive.
