Not really sure why everyone is going crazy over the Aston Martin Vantage RS Concept. This is supposed to be the car to showcase the talent in Aston’s new design studio, yet all they’ve managed to come up with is a V8 Vantage with an engine transplant. Oh wait, sorry, I think those alloys may be different and the boot is now made from carbon and that boot spoiler can rise automatically to increase downforce.

Impressed? No, neither am I really. If you’re going to shoehorn a race engine into the smallest car in the range, of course it’s going to go like stink, even if the car remains a slightly podgy 1600kg. But this is hardly innovative design; it has more merit as an engineering achievement. I don’t doubt the fact that Aston’s designers are a group of incredibly talented people, but if they’re forced to work with their arms tied, you get cars as confused and convoluted as the DBS, the V8 Vantage N400 and now, the RS Concept. Aston Martin's design team should be allowed to get on with penning a proper concept car.

Who designs cars to resemble fish? OK Peugeot, but you can hardly say that deciding to base all their front grilles on the gob of a basking shark has been successful. In fact, it has put a lot of regular customers off the marque.  So imagine the gasps of despondency in the Sky Motoring office when we came across this Citroën Nemo Concetto concept.

Due to be unveiled at this Friday’s Bologna Motor Show in Italy, it shares its name and colour scheme with the clown fish from the Disney film, “Finding Nemo. Inside, there are many more hideous Nemo graphics to make you gag. Admittedly, this may only be a concept but how on earth did Citroen manage to find any link between a glorified French van and a cartoon fish? What were they thinking? What were they smoking? Once explained, perhaps they could also show us how well it swims…
