Aston Martin have always made very good GT's but always front engined, the are a very discrete car, not full in your face, Astons don't come in bright red or yellow as a standard colour, that probably is their downfall as Bentley moved into their domain when they split from Rolls Royce. Perhaps under Stroll and Newey a mid engined two seater, whether Aston Martin will continue with Mercedes engines in their GT cars when the F1 team switch to Honda, but could swap to the new Honda 5 litre V8 marine engine, normally vehicle engines are converted to marine use but there's no reason why it can't work the opposite way round
