PH Vantage 'Spy Shots'

[Johnny42]

OK so it would seem reasonable for Aston to test out the V8 and other bits in a DB11, as the new Vantage chassis will be a shorter clone, but are these latest shots really of the Vantage with the actual Vantage panels?

I can't tell it apart from the DB11, so Andy's mother has no chance.

I'm really hoping this is a mule with a DB11 body...

Aston Martin are having great fun with false panels on their development prototype cars.

I wonder how many reporters will look back at their writings and cringe when they see the car and realise the utter bks they were speculating.

Indeed :-)

If they are anything like financial analysts (share price forecasters), they never look back.
They just issue what they quaintly refer to as a revised forecast.

(we got that one wrong, so try another forecast)

I don't get why they bothered to cammo up the body, if those are DB11 panels? Maybe there are some bad lines due to it being a cut-and-shut?
