New V8 Vantage

I am sure this has been covered before, but I noticed that a certain royal couple drove off in a DB10 today, and I sat there and thought that it must have been a modified new V8 Vantage from a body perspective.

The rear quarter glass and side treatment look so similar.





If only they had used the DB10 lights & bonnet on the front of the Vantage I think it would have made it easier on the eye - sorry if I am stating the obvious and this has been covered a dozen times before !

The DB10 cars were created for Spectre, by using a 4.7 V8 Vantage and modifying the bodywork.

The story is that Sam Mendes spotted an early design department sketch of the Vantage replacement, when visiting Gaydon. He wanted that to be the Bond car.

Hence the similarity between the DB10 and the new Vantage.

If only the new Vantage looked like the DB10. They’re certainly similar, but sadly all the bits that differentiate them are worse on the Vantage.
