You might have seen the following contribution, which I made to a recent topic entitled;
'The new Vantage will blow the DB10 away'.

'I hear that the next test concerns cooling, so therefore the front needs to have the design openings. A 'little bird' has described specially made front bodywork for the test car, which apparently gives the appearance of a DB11'.


Autocar have today reported a V8 DB11 is being tested.

If they have indeed been fooled, and this car is actually a disguised prototype Vantage,
then you heard it here first.

Am I the only one that think this thing sounds like and inboard boat motor. I read all these rave reviews about how great this car sounds. I just don't hear it.

Haha...once you've heard it you can't 'unhear' it....

Cracking colour though - impressive looking from the front.

In some respects, I hope the new Vantage doesn't look like the 11. I'm really not a huge fan of the new styling. The front is pretty nice but the rear is box'y. If however the new Vantage looks even remotely like the DB10 - I'm getting my cheque book out.
