Aston Martin Virage

The pinnacle of British motoring has yet again released another machine to captivate mind and body. The two door Virage coupe boasts a huge 6 litre V12 engine. But it's not just the performance that is outrageously impressive. Once again Aston Martin have produced an immaculate exterior. Featuring as always are the largely recognizable grille and front/rear lights. However there's something about the Virage that separates it from say the DB9 or Vantage. Could it be the gorgeously flared bumper and skirting or the lower grille which seamlessly and somewhat invisibly blends into the road. As always alike to every other current model Aston the large bonnet is turned up in such away that it exudes class and wealth yet unlike Ferrari's and Lamborghini's the Virage displays such beauty effortlessly. No vicious angles nor flashy 'look at me' facades. The Virage gains attention by just being there yet it has the ability to subtly slide into the confines of society instead of becoming a Sunday drive type deal. I still can't put my finger on it but the Virage's sleek and subtle curves make for one jaw dropping car while still retaining the typically immaculate beauty contained in that winged badge carrying the name of British motoring.
