Well spotted everyone.

Sorry about that. I posted this topic without studying the pictures closely enough. Anyway, that is my excuse. Quite an oversight on my part really, because a long time ago, I was told by (lets call him someone) that AML had made some Vantage test mules to copy the appearance of the DB11. As you all say, the shorter rear overhang is the clue.

I wonder if we might see the Mk2 Vantage at Geneva after all?

Dr.P has stated, "There will be a couple of announcements in Geneva that I'm sure will create a smile for most and a few tears for others."




Edit - spelling.

On the original Autocar article -
http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/aston-m...
- they have changed the photographs, but the DB11 shown now was first registered in February 2016.
Therefore at that time, probably unlikely to have been fitted with the Mercedes V8, as they say it is.

Were muddles like these, the reason why James May left Autocar?
