New Vanquish to be released in 2018?!

Reading through Top Gear magazine today looking at the feature on the Valkerie it mentions an all new Vanquish due for 2018. Anyone heard of this or know anything about this?

I had heard late 2018 and potentially called DBS rather than Vanquish

And if you haven't got your deposit down for a Vanquish Ultimate you might already be too late....

I suspect there may be both wink

Makes sense, as I believe the production line that is doing everything apart from the DB11 is finishing at the end of the year, so whilst the Vantage will obviously be the main focus, presumable a new Vanquish and Rapide won't be too far down the line.

Do you think they will make a new Rapide? (I genuinely don't know).

I was working on the basis that that particular model would be shelved once the DBX came on stream as the new 4-door Aston Martin

no dealer I've spoken to seems to know anything about a Vanquish Ultimate, I'll happily swap from the S to an Ultimate if I can find one! Any ideas on which dealer might know about this?!

Possibly two different punters.
I would buy a Rapide whereas I don't think I would buy a DBX.
Main reason being,if priced around £200K,the market is already stuffed full of variety that adequately fulfills the same function for far less money.

I heard a whisper of a 2 seat mid engined Vanquish replacement called DBS to take on the 488.

Remember they said they will be using the lagonda brand , I expect new rapide (or 4 door saloon type car) to be under the lagonda banner

Interesting so a 750+bhp Vanquish derived from DB11.... looks like all guess work for now. Anyway you look at it It does appear AM n/a engines are a thing of the past

Thanks for the heads up on pm Rob. I called various dealers. none knew actual facts but many confirmed they have taken deposits based on 1 per dealer even though they don't have details. Looks like I will have to stick it out with the S!

Oh.....that's a rather risky strategy.
It's difficult enough to campaign and profile one luxury brand without bringing in another relatively unknown one into the fray.

What's the betting that new Vanquish/DBS is the next James Bond car? Would probably tie in with shooting the film next year

Good call. We could see the the design elements (though it would no doubt be face value only - like the DBS in Casino Royale being a DB9 in new clothing).

Actually, that has just made me realise - the DB9 is actually a Bond car!!!
