They claim, ( and most probably rightly so ) that, and it is the same for Alpine. I cannot deny they are useful, especially the side skirts. Now the carbon rear " glass " must only be for some weight reasons. You can easily save 8 to 10 kilos.

It's the best "normal production" Aston Martin product ever produced in my opinion. I'd even argue it's better than the 2015-2018 Vanquish. Which is a nice car, but that car is not a sports car, not especially sporting to drive, and doesn't have dry sump ...
Awesome. And in collaboration with Fernando Alonso
Quite possibly the most legendary driver of all time, bar Ayrton
