[Beefmeister]

Aston just tweeted this, looks like we're seeing the DB11 Volante on the 13th

V8 only I believe...

Has a reveal date been announced for the new V8 Vantage yet?

Aston Martin are clearly not superstitious then.

Aston seem to have chosen the 13th and a Friday.

You are lucky enough to own a DB9 Steven, so perhaps you were not born on a Friday.

Not able to enjoy.

Has that webpage been removed ?

Could it be the French, once again leaking pictures too soon perhaps ?

Just have a look on the Photo Thread, last image posted.

[Jon39]

Thank you.
Quick thinking. Hope the AML police don't have our photo thread removed.

Looks very sleek. Presumably that might be 'Charlotte' at the wheel, one of the new breed of lady customers.

Can someone talk about the Aeroblade system, needed by DB11 cars for stability ?
I cannot see any air intakes.

I was lucky enough to see it at Gaydon - I thought it was an improvement over the coupe and that's not half shabby. It looked just as good roof up too !

Is this what you're looking for?

That'll do for me.

I think perhaps someone has all ready mentioned it is to be V8 only, but I do note in the photo just two bonnet louvres, ie V8.

To me, certainly a very beautiful car, but my eye is drawn to the strange ridges running across the boot lid area.

Would we be about £225,000 with options for this model ?

weblink deleted....

I guess all the pictures will be available for the public in 24 hrs... :-)

why 225k ?

The V8 coupe is c 145k plus options isn't it ?

normal Aston premium for a soft top is c £10k so c 155k for the volante

So mid 170s decentish spec, mid 180s well loaded ?

I would have thought £175k - can’t remember if there is a launch edition or not but that may add £10k if there is .
