DBS replacement is due later this year with aggressive styling and more than 750bhp
Aston Martin is preparing to transform the V12-engined DBS into a bona fide supercar, more clearly distinguished from its V8-powered DB12 and Vantage siblings. New images of the supercar – which could revive the Vanquish name – reveal that it is based on the DB12 but with a wide-reaching visual makeover that points to its extra grunt: there are huge new vents on the bonnet to keep the 12-cylinder engine cool, a much wider grille and a chunkier lower splitter that hints at improved downforce.
As for the new supercar's name, product and market strategy director Alex Long noted that ‘DB’ models tend to sit at the “core of the line-up”, suggesting that flagships such as this merit names beginning with V , and Autocar understands a revival of the Vanquish badge is on the cards.
