New Vantage?

[C997]

Wasn't there a quote from somebody a while back that it was going to be more Vulcan than DB10 or something along those lines. The only bit of Vulcan I can see in that is the grill surround. Nice though!

Not sure if these were ever shared. They are renderings based on the leaked patent design.

Take an original AML DB11 launch photo, include a soupçon of rotation, add essence of Photoshop and Voilà.









Who said, they all look the same? We don't want anymore of that.

Not me, I want to see evolution of the current Vantage. Not revolution looking unrecognizable. Huge mistake. Don't care who's grandmother said what.

The current Vantage has evolved continuously over the last 12 years. The new Vantage will be exactly that - new. Different doesn't mean bad. Let's just wait and see but I've not heard of anyone who's seen it that has been disappointed.

What 17+ year old design & technology?! Each to their own & all that but the time for change is needed, otherwise AML are clinging onto past glories!
Don't want to sound smug, but having seen it, I can say honestly, it's fabulous & is exactly the direction AML should be heading!

I saw it yesterday and fully concur with you HBradley.

The back is a pretty good design hopefully the front on the actual car is a bit more resolved then the rendering.

I've put my deposit down.

I cannot wait to see it finally revealed.

I was contemplating a McLaren next but have to say I'm getting a little excited about the new Vantage.

Andy, looks like you won’t be buying a new Aston.

Not what I said, I have a 2015 V8V, so not in the market for awhile anyway.

Unlike you, I would hate to see some radical new design that doesn't even resemble an Aston except for a name plate.

How does the car in the images above not resemble an Aston?

Overall it certainly does resemble an Aston. In fact a particular model comes immediately to mind.

I showed (above), that the images had been created by altering an original DB11 photograph, and when comparing the before and after cars, you need to look carefully to see the differences.

I doubt that they would want the (at a glance) appearence of the next Vantage, to just be a smaller DB11, with a different front and back. That has already been done, in 2005.

New teaser from Aston Martin themselves.

Marek seems to have a “thing” about wolves

The rear light appears to consist of five sections.
Could it be light braking = two outer sections.
Heavier braking = four sections.
Maximum braking = five sections, with the upper section flashing.

Perhaps the sequences can be selected by the driver.

You have way too much time on your hands.

All I care is, does it look awesome?
