New Aston Martin model?

[JohnG1]

Driving near Newport Pagnell today I saw a prototype car on the public road. Didn't catch the registration. Had that swirly black and white "camouflage".

Looked front engined, couldn't hear the engine note over mine. Didn't have the new Vantage basking shark mouth or the DB11 or DBSS front.

The front end did look rather like an F-type, but it was wider, lower and longer.

Any thoughts?

Could it be this?

No, there was a horizontal bar across the middle of the front of the grill, rather than one single top-to-bottom grill.

Hmmmm....

The AM development staff love disguise tricks.
Do you remember the 2019 Vantage development cars, which were made to resemble the DB11 model?

The very very last N/A V12, perhaps!!

DBS Superleggera Volante prototype(s) have a bar across the front.

I've seen a V12 Zagato Coupe in the metal. Was not one of them. And it had a roof, so not a roadster...

Aha - now that's interesting. Yes, could have been one of these. But I've not seen any spy shots of the DBSS with a bar and with that weird black and white swirl paint job...
