This is the $700,000 Aston Martin we've all been waiting for

Jul 26, 2021, 18:50 IST

Fisker’s résumé is best described as "impressive." It features cars such as the glorious ...

... BMW Z8 ...

.... the Aston Martin DB9 ....

.... the Aston Martin Vantage and ....

.... the stunning Fisker Karma.

Earlier this year, Fisker even took a turn at improving an American classic, with the 725-horsepower, carbon-fiber Rocket Mustang.

First seen at the 2015 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, the Thunderbolt is based on the Aston Martin Vanquish sedan.

You first buy the Vanquish for $300,000. Galpin Aston Martin in Los Angeles will then turn your brand new car into ...

... this! A coach-built special with a hand-laid carbon-fiber body. That adds another $400,000 to the price.

The front of Fisker's design is dominated by a large aluminum grille and a set of hood-mounted triangular air intakes.

These modified headlamps are beautifully done.

The Thunderbolt's blade-like rear lights make a real statement.

Fisker kept the Vanquish's already sleek rear profile. This is not your father's fastback!

These side vents are museum quality!

What hasn't been changed is the Aston's juicy 565-horsepower, 6.0-liter V12; this massive power plant will propel the Thunderbolt.

Inside the car, the attention to detail is stunning. The dash features an exquisite skeleton chronograph by the Swiss watchmaker Maurice Lacroix.

The Thunderbolt also sports the greatest cupholders of all time — a pair of Champagne/wine-bottle holders, with their own seat belts!

The prototype Thunderbolt even features Panasonic's Curved Control Screen for its infotainment system.

Just a few exclusive production models will be built. Sadly, they will not be exactly like the prototype (seen here).

The production variant — seen here — will feature a modified front end and a revised infotainment system without the curved screen. Still, the Thunderbolt will be simply ravishing.

This is the most intense Aston Martin of all time ...
