James Trim is truly a lover of Mother Nature. His design of his car, the Aston Martin Volare simply proves this. Aston Martin Volare is anchored to the principle that automakers must see to it that their vehicles are environment friendly if not totally harmful free.
Aston Martin Volare is a design that provides a guilt-free driving for the passengers while not sacrificing the incredible sound and excellent performance of the car. James’ design is a two-seater car that has a high-power fuel cell stack that is flanked by the front seats. A backend mounted battery pack and a co-axial electric motor is also embedded at the front. Two hydrogen storage tanks are placed overhead the cars axle for an equal distribution of the cars weight. The Aston Martin Volare proportion is visually sharpened by the use of a harder shoulders and a visible floating rear deck.
The front frame, which is solid, is inspired by the older V8 vantage. The Volare’s flexible frontage fenders are able to change its shape to expose daytime running lights or full headlamps. A car is immediately identifiable as a masterpiece of Aston Martin if its design is a combination of the today’s technology and designed as a harmful free to the environment vehicle.

The old Aston Martin V8 Vantage is already perfection; making innovations on perfection seems improper. And yet, MW Design Technik has done just that. They have taken it to new heights by creating a design aptly called Hellvellyn Frost.
The 2009 Aston Martin Hellvellyn Frost is covered in a frosty white matte paint. The interior scheme is of gray with accents of red and black. The car uses a 4.7 liter V8 engine with a horsepower of 445. Many weighed decisions were made in creating this new model. Additional carbon fiber aero pieces were especially ordered and the bearing of the suspension and wheels were changed as well. The aero pieces were also given the same matte paint effect to flow with the rest of the scheme.
Modulare customized the wheels that were used in the car. With the aluminum cap, the combined look makes the car look both romantic yet harsh. Minor detailing is added to the exterior to tie in all the parts together. The vents, front grill, window trims as well as trunk lip is colored black while other accents were given some red lines such as the calliper’s bleeder line and the tow hooks.
This car, which takes its design from an English mountain range, is both beauty and strength in one.
