Not bad from the side, but front 3/4 is a little . . . . interesting.
Between the Peugeot, Audi, and this Aston one can't say ALMS LMP cars all look alike . . . (not they have in the past.)

The Gulf-liveried Aston Martin AMR-One is a new open-top LMP1 race car featuring a 2.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder direct-injection petrol engine which has been developed for a new bespoke carbon fiber chassis designed and manufactured by Aston Martin Racing.
Based on the new regulations for 2011 instigated by the Le Mans governing body, the ACO, Aston Martin Racing has chosen to change tack this year in designing an open-cockpit car. The AMR-One features the new blade-fin and has a significantly down-sized engine in keeping with the championship’s efficiency focused regulations. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a six-speed, transverse, semi-automatic, pneumatic shift Xtrac racing gearbox.
