Some designers like their cars to be complex and overly aggressive in their details while others prefer to keep things sleek and simple.

This Aston Martin V8 Vantage concept, which was sent to Carscoop by independent designer Narcis Mares, is one of those cars we would personally catalogue in the second group.

Mares says he drew his inspiration from several Aston Martins ranging from the British brand’s brutish 1980s models to the more contemporary V12 Vanquish and V8 Vantage coupes, though we must say that we also see a hint of BMW Z4 on the supercar concept’s profile.

Overall, we find Mares’ Aston Martin V8 Vantage to be a handsome concept and are especially fond of the super clean and minimalistic front- and rear-end designs.
