Aston Martin Bulldog

The Aston Martin Bulldog, styled by William Towns, was a one-off testbed vehicle produced by Aston Martin in 1979. Originally, it had been intended to be a limited run of about 25. It has an incredibly low height at 43 inches (1.1 m) high, and sharp, distinctive Trapezium shaped design, features centre-mounted five Hidden headlamps and gull-wing door. The Bulldog was powered by a 5.3L twin-turbo V8 delivering 700 bhp.

The theoretical top speed is estimated at 237 mph (381 km/h). The car was officially launched on March 27, 1980. After the development program was over, Aston Martin sold the only Bulldog to the highest bidder for about £130,000. The Bulldog spent some time in the United States, but recently surfaced back in Britain, for sale and with a new green paint job (the original exterior colours were silver and light grey). The new owner of the Aston Martin Bulldog is Mr. Paul Tanner.
