The model has already been rumoured on here, but an article has now popped up.

Presumably this now means the replacement Vanquish, will need to have even more power to remain top model.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and call it the DBS...
yup, and I think it bodes well for the outgoing Vanquish being replaced by a souped up DB11 rather than a new Vanquish

Not sure it's something to celebrate really, another Mercedes engine with turbos YAY.... I'd rather have a 5000bhp real AM DBS. Sigh I'm just old cynical
Not something to celebrate? Oh FFS, let's just get Aston to make nothing but legacy cars for their entire future and watch them go down the tubes, shall we? Get a grip.
I was at the Cologne engingine factory back in 2015 when the "let slip" that there would be a new version of the V12 coming out, which would be reduced capacity and be turbocharged.
It is most definitely an Aston engine and really struggle to understand why people think it is an AMG engine. I am on tour in Switzerland at the moment and have had the pleasure of following a very nice blue DB11 and it does make a great sound, not quite as good as mine but the other guys speak highly of it.
For me it is quite easy V8 - AMG , V12 - Aston.

The DBS name will return, which is why I keep wondering why people keep saying "DB11S".
Another Vanquish is slated to be made at some point down the road - but first there's the new Vantage, the DBS (or "DB11S"), the DBX, the RapidE, and the SUV (read: full size SUV, not crossover like the DBX).
Plus the Valkyrie and the rear mid-engine model tangentially derived from it to go up against the Ferrari 488 (or whatever they have when Aston's version comes to market).
I think that covers the next several years, and hopefully no more of that Cygnet nonsense...
