The bottom one looks much better with the trademark grille, not a huge fan of the mesh

£120k is a very basic spec, chuck at least £15k, and more likely £25k-£30k onto that to get what you'd want.

The photoshop looks far better... I'd buy that if that front end was all that was changed from the real thing.
Aftermarket to the rescue!

This new Vantage should really help move existing inventory.

The bottom image does look nice but people would've moaned that it looks too much like a DB11.

As part of model differentiation the plan is for Vantage to look more aggressive. DB11 (and perhaps Vanquish) will continue the elegance.

I like it.
Old vantage looks dated already.
GTE probably hints at some of the styling that could go into an AMR version.
Stick a V12 into an AMR version and I am in.

Sorry but it's a mess... on the plus side it'll do wonders for the previous Vantage residuals.

Well, we all knew it was going to be hard to improve on the original. We were right. Sure this looks more modern and aggressive - but so does a GTR. Turbo Merc V8, Auto gearbox, electric power steering, blank video screens. No thanks.

Really really like it. I think the new "face" will take a bit of time to bed in - but Aston needed to move the game on and update the design language - which they've done. It still has so many of the classic lines that made the 2005 car spot on. With a number plate it will look perfect brooding in a car park or zooming over a nice B road.

I still don't "get" the DB11 - this looks far more cohesive to my eye. Can't wait to see one in the metal next year.

Well that’s a relief, been wondering for a while if I should have waited rather than by the V12SM. I was worrying for nothing.

As I said On the other thread, I really hate the front and rear prolapsed splitters and diffusers.
The rear especially seem to echo the new Ferrari 812 Superfast and the Portofino. Why do the diffuser bits have to stick so far out???

Might look better if the front and rear could be body coloured entirely.

I like the perforated side vents too, but they can only be had in black as opposed to body colour! I’m sure that’s an easy fix.

All this “black pack” design might be agreeable to the aspirational Audi buyers, but we should have the choice of what colour our appendages are painted in!

Kermit the race frog, the new GTE with a few adjustments, looks much better than the road car.

Sorry, its far too fiddly. The front mesh grill is ugly and it looks as if the rear end has hemorrhoids.

Lovely shape though it still is, the outgoing car now looks positively ancient overnight.

I prefer the bottom one too, and thought it could be an option.....it might be in 6 months time or the aftermarket may do it eventually
