Some new spy shots of 2 slightly different cars.





One looks as it might be based on the DB12 (rear, short front overhang), the other has a Valour inspired rear and a much longer front overhang. It seems that the side profile looks different too.

Both cars have been seen testing side by side at the Nurburgring.

Bottom one for me please, though the roof looks a bit squashed down.

Rear of the top one reminds me of a Porsche.

I have heard the new car is Valour inspired so the bottom one looks more likely.

Cars look good!

So a DBS with the V12 and possible a DBX with a V12 too.... I wonder which of these will be the "last ever V12"? wink

Joking aside its great news that the V12 is far from dead and there are many more V12's still to come....

The car in the top pic was doing the rounds a couple of months ago – it looks like a DB12 but with a bulge at the back housing some kind of unkempt temporary-looking quad exhaust. I hope this was just a test mule and is otherwise meaningless. And so I hope the bottom pic is closer to what will be a brand new DBS/Vanquish with a differentiating supercar feel to it in both looks and performance – if that's the case, it looks great.

I think a "DB12 AMR" any time soon would be a mistake. Maybe in a few years, but not now. Whereas achieving and delivering the full new AM lineup (new DBS/Vanquish, Valhalla, and DBX 2) in a decent timeframe seems like the best way to maximise AM's success.

Had a recent drive in DB12 and the Aston factory driver was due to drive the DBS replacement in a few weeks so must be close. He also thought would be called Vanquish.
