New spy shots
have emerged confirming that the replacement for the Vanquish will be the Aston
Martin DBS Superleggera and it will come by the second half of 2018. The new
two-seater Aston Martin DBS Superleggera will carry on the design elements from
the DB11 and will adapt a more aggressive aesthetics.
Visually, we like the matte black cladding on the
exterior and the electrical tape on the hood of the Aston Martin DBS
Superleggera. The DB11 design elements are quite obvious, but it does look
quite aggressive. Apart from this, the front splitter, rear diffuser, active
rear wing, and the pair of bonnet vents complete the look. At its heart, the
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera will come with DB11's bi-turbocharged 5.2-litre
V12 engine that can produce around 700 bhp.
It was last year, when Aston Martin announced that
Vanquish S will be replaced with the DBS nameplate and this is actually not the
first time that the British carmaker has done this. Since the launch of the
Vanquish in 2001, Aston Martin has revived the DBS nametag with a couple of its
products.
And when the company announced that the DBS nameplate will again be
revived for the Superleggera, we literally had goosebumps. And keep up with the
DBS name, we are sure that Aston Martin will go all out with the Superleggera.
