I don't think either hit solidly on the 'most beautiful ever made' comment. Older ones window bows are way too low and the newer one looks like too many other same gen cars. Neither stand out in their own right.
Design elements, long nose, short tail. Bulging flanks and gonna have a hard time seeing stop lights from either of them. The XK already shares those traits.
There does appear to be a lot of the earlier ones DNA in the newer one which also mimics the XK.
Perhaps a nudge in the right direction?

Funny enough but I like both of the designs. Now take it for what it's worth as I owned and like my old Daimler SP250 too. The old Maz has the rounded front wings with the oval type grill. Both some traits of Jaguar XK150 evolving to XKE. The AM smoothed out the wedge style while having similar form to the X150 body style. It is more of a smoothed out wedge design. As I said I'd take either one.

BINGO!
Dabrunn guessed it.
It applies absolutely perfectly. The canopy is 1 to 2 to the body, as are many other elements. Its the formula to beauty. Even the human body is 2x legs to 1 torso.

I had said there were 2 distinct elements.
The wheel arch line comes up to the door handle.
Larger wheels on the Aston in the original picture make that effect more possible than the stock wheels in the diagram above.
