Personally most excited I've ever been regarding a road car.
Hopefully likes of McLaren and Ferrari make competing cars.

Wow, that's impressive:tup:👍. I wonder if any game is going to feature this car in the near future. I rarely get excited over individual cars or makes (other than Porsche of course), but this would really tweak my interest in a good sim with good physics.

Not so sure what you guys all like about it. Sure it looks very futuristic but I can't say the design appeals me much. But then again, tastes differ. 
For me the prettiest modern hypercar at the moment is still the 2012 Pagani Huayra as seen in the following pic. It has style, design and elegance in its DNA.

My bet would be PCARS2 and FM7 — with the latter possibly getting it first, depending on how the real car's road to production lines up with the franchise's usual DLC schedule. There's seemingly a good relationship there, as starting with FM4, quite a lot of Astons were added via post-release support.
I still can't believe how tiny it is.

Same view really, it leaves me cold. I see no emotion in this cars design, i only see hours of time spent in software. It just looks like a race car without a livery and everyone is going mad. It's kinda like the Praga R1. Not only does the front look unfinished but it looks like the Pagani in the pic.Not so sure what you guys all like about it.

It's probably the ugliest Aston made in decades, if not ever, but to accomplish what it's built for, which is the be quicker than anything else round a track, (until the Mercedes maga-super-hyper-car-thing comes out at least) I totally get it.
Speaking of Aston, I took my car in for a service last week and on the way to the garage I drove past an Aston showroom and they had a row of DB11's flanked by Vantages and Vanquishes out front. I think I said "sex" out loud in the car.

This seems appropriate for the new Valkyrie.

Uh, does anyone notice something about both the lighting engine in Aston Martin's video and the floor used itself.
That floor is very similar to the Vision GT marble floor used in their display areas. And the lighting reminds me of the 2017 Nissan GT-R intro from Gran Turismo Sport. Just an observation.

It's funny how different eyes see the same thing differently, but to me it's one of the most perfect looking cars ever made.
The lines are beautifully clean and the form so organic - all aerodynamics integrated into a single flowing form that looks like an aircraft.
This is really a car I have been waiting to see for decades!

Ignoring Serena Williams, the latest Valkyrie shown is around 90% production ready according to Aston.

Potato cam footage shows a very focused interior. Quite LMP-esque.

That's an Hyper-car. I was a child when my father read me a magazine with all information about the brand new Mclaren F1... then I remember see that car smashing every thing else and raising the super-sport mark far beyond any competitor. And something tells me that is going to happen again with this car.
