I’ve seen a couple of them parked out on the streets now in London. Definitely growing on me

I would suggest that actual car is a factory hack.

Aren’t those orange reflectors on cars for the US market? but it looks to be right hand drive?

Funny number plate shape as well! Probably a testing prototype.

Are the exhaust tips supposed to be like that? Small circle?

So, does anyone know what this actually is? I’m assuming an upcoming improvement on the current model? Perhaps the long awaited manual, or an S version of the 8 speed auto? Or is no one allowed to say on here?

Best Regards

I think the point is the OP (not an Aston Martin owner?), posed a genuine question about what it was as they liked the look of it.

No conspiracy theories needed. Hard as it may be for us traditionalists to believe but the wider public likes the new Vantage (heck even Grand Tour and Harry Metcalfe raved about it)

It’s still not quite my cup of tea, but I accept life would be dull if everyone had exactly the same views (mushrooms make me puke!)

Hi Rob

Fair enough. I wasn’t trying to cause any problems. It is surprising to see what looks like a pre-production version in the wild when the new car has been around for almost 18 months. Simple as that really.

Best Regards
