At over 150 thousand pounds, it was the most expensive Aston Martin ever seen, and with it’s non-expected look it never really caught on.

It’s estimated that 4 of these Aston Martin Virage Shooting Brakes were made — 3 in British Racing Green, one in Rosso Red — all with right hand drive & manual transmission.

I kind of liked the Chrome Ferrari 599 GTB that made it big on the web after some arab fanboy posted them all over — but this Golden Aston Martin DB7 is just a bit too much for quite a few reasons…

  1. It’s an Aston. It’s not tacky, it’s classy.
  2. It’s gold and it shines and it reflects — yet people can scratch off GOLD. They will.
  3. They wanted to go fashion with the two-tone finish (platinum and gold, but the color combos just don’t work as well on a car as they do in jewellery…

Please let me know what you guys think. is there anyone out there that actually thinks this looks good?
