I honestly don't see it coming next year at all. AM are revising the DB11, DBS and Vantage if recent reports are true and LS has not changed his tune.
There has only been 1 mule seen earlier this year appearing as a DB11. I think we would have seen or heard about more spyshots if they were coming next year. Even if they do they won't appear until the end of next year I suspect and therefore be a new MY.
That being said in terms of direction that rear lighting setup would mean implementing it from Valkyrie...and I suppose Valhalla.

Car magazine says this is the heavily revised DBS coming next year. Last v12 with revised front and rear, new interior.
Is that a double bubble roof ?
Aston Martin have had a very long and successful relationship with Zagato.
I cannot believe, that Aston Martin would 'pinch' the Zagato signature roof design, if the model is not a Zagato.
ya I kinda don't think it's coming soon since there's the lack of test mules. Or... very minor changes.
I think all the "final v12" is just marketing talk. Surely they'll offer that as long as they can. then when it really comes time to kill the v12,
SURELY there would be numerous specials, zagatos etc.

The DBS Victor Zagato... It would be a very heavily revised DBS indeed, looking that every body panel, piece of glass and aerodynamic has been altered, more an entirely new model really. It`s likely an artist interpretation of a speculation based on a rumour of an overheard segment of conversation in a noisy environment.
It looks desirable nonetheless.
Bumped up BHP, 770 probably, some revised exterior stuff, bonnet/hood etc. Refresh the DBS on the outside to keep sales going for another 12-18 months before the interior and exterior redesigns across the entire range starting in 2023/24 on the Db11, then Vantage...then DBX I would guess.

I think that's on the money spec-wise but suspect it will be a limited run like the V12 Vantage.GT3ZZZ said:

YEAR OF THE FACELIFT
Aston’s 2023 kicks off with tweaks to its flagship DBS, which will get restyled lights, bumpers and wheels, along with an active front splitter and bigger rear wing for 600kg of downforce at 155mph. The most significant improvement is a new interior which mates Mercedes electronics with a much improved infotainment system offering extended connectivity.
DB11 OVERHAULED
It was so nearly a new car, the DB12. Instead the DB11 will get an upgraded interior plus fully restyled front and rear ends along with wider wings, wheels, tyres and track. The badge on the bootlid is now expected to read DB11 Ultimate, before the V12 disappears for good, killed by EU7. The V8s will get power hikes in the short term. Longer term, Aston will likely kill either the DBS or the DB11.
VANTAGE AND DBX
Another Aston facelift earmarked for 2023 concerns the Vantage, due in the fourth quarter. It’ll get the same round of functional and aesthetic upgrades as the DB11, although the Vantage’s power boost is likely to be modest. The DBX SUV gets a plug-in hybrid soon but must soldier on one more year before switching to a fresh infotainment system.

Thank goodness that Aston Martin have at last recognised the existing weakness.
I have been having considerable difficulty, maintaining control on my weekly trip to Waitrose.

The author's name does make me wonder, about the the validity of this story.
Mr. Kacher. Really ?
