Aston Martin, Give This Man a Job

Not since Chris Bangle's 7-series revolutionized BMW has a brand refresh been so dynamic and perfect. The Aston Martin DB-ONE is the fastest looking car standing completely still, embodying what could be the next generation of the famous British sports car.

The only problem is this: Spanish designer Ruben Vela doesn't actually work for Aston Martin. The recent Polytechnic University graduate developed the Aston Martin DB-ONE as a study in "dynamism," a play on the lines and planes of the vehicle that make it feel kinetic even when it's static. The big fat grille and exaggerated front end play on Aston Martin's typical long nose, yet the angles indicate thought beyond today's standards.
