RS could be quickest Aston yet
An Aston Martin V12 RS mule has been apparently filmed testing at the Nurburgring.
It had been initially thought that the RS was just a styling and engineering exercise but a number of protiotypes have been spotted recently.
The latest film shows what looks like a regular V8 Vantage but has a rear diffuser and bonnet vents like the original prototype.
The concept had a 6.0L V12 from the DBS and a claimed 0-60mph time of around 4.0 seconds, which combined with the car's light weight means it could be the fastest Aston ever around a track.
There should be carbon-ceramic brakes and a louvred bonnet to aid cooling.
Production is expected to take place at Gaydon, alongside the regular V8, and the car could go on sale within the next year.
