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.
The carparazzi have recently spotted a UK-plated example of the Aston Martin DB12’s punchier sibling. Believed to be called Vanquish rather than DBS Superleggera, the V12-engined bruiser is also rumored to develop in excess of 800 ps (789 hp).
Aston Martin continues testing the successor of the DBS Superleggera at the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
