I've never been blown away by the new F Type. Even seeing them in the flesh, the convertible was just 'meh' to me.
Now, let's look at the 550hp type R Coupe. Christ, this thing is gorgeous! Yes, we all know of the Ian Callum/Aston comparisons with Jags, but when I look at this, I see the best parts of a Vantage and crazy as it sounds, a FRS/BRZ.
That roof glass/sunroof to hatch glass is pure sex. Oh, and the hatch opens left to right (not vertically) - just like the E Type before it.
The exhaust note in the video is the sound of Andrea Boccelli having a chat with God himself!
