Looks almost like a large Jag F Type front in that photo, but my guess is that camouflage is masking the actual front grill. If you look closely you can see the actual line underneath, making it look more like the current DBS/Vantage V12 in width: https://www.autoblog.com/2023/01/12/aston-martin-d...

Do you think this development DB11, could have a Rapide type front grille?
Click the photo (original image, in post up this page, then click again) and can then see slats in the enlarged picture.
Might be playing a game, to tease spyshot viewers.

I really want it to be a new DB11/DB12 but part of me think it’s just going to be the DBS 770.
As much as I like the DBS, personally I’m bored of the overpriced limited run cars. I want to see tangible updates to the “regular production” range.
I've seen the 770 and it has a horse-shoe bonnet so don't think this it.As much as I like the DBS, personally I’m bored of the overpriced limited run cars. I want to see tangible updates to the “regular production” range.
A few years ago, we could have some fun when prototype cars were photographed, by finding out the engine capacity etc..
Manufacturers must have had a chat with the DVLA.
Spoil sports.
All we know now, is the colour under the wrap is PURPLE.
Perhaps those capital letters, mean a very loud purple. -
EDIT
Have just spotted, 'CO2 emissions 0 g/km'.
That must therefore either be;
1.) Aston Martin's first electric car,
2.) Running on that special Irish 97 octane petrol 'Certified Carbon Neutral' or,
3.) A mistake.

wonder if under the skin it will effectively be a slightly detuned DBS with infotrainment tweaks. Sorta like the DB9.2 my2013+ that was more on par with the outgoing DBS. This might make sense as the current DBS is being phased out and moving more up market with more power + higher price.
Gotta say though it'd be nice if they made just one car with a more traditional AM bar grill...

I'll go for (3), but keep it quiet as you'll save £600+ VED.That must therefore either be;
1.) Aston Martin's first electric car,
2.) Running on that special Irish 97 octane petrol 'Certified Carbon Neutral' or,
3.) A mistake.
Or maybe (4) - the engine was off when they tested it...

I think people are confused the DBS 770 is simply an uprated DBS swansong and no doubt as said goodbye to the V12. It won't feature the face-lift bits.
From here all I think is a larger dbs style grill and I doubt much else brutally.
I suspect some people will be and are more bothered by the interior. But for now my gut is saying they will just bring it into line with the dbx, whether that will go a touch further literally and mean it has an actual touch screen hmm, I don't believe LS sadly.

All prototypes are 0 g/km, they are not type approved by definition. Without there being any emissions testing it is unknown, so they simply put zero.
Oh dear. The opportunity for jokes disappears.
I cannot get over our discovery on the Fuel additive topic, that the Irish name their 97 octane petrol, 'Certified Carbon Neutral'.
Such a simple solution to global warming in Eire. Just use stickers.
Follow me, I am right behind you.
