Aston Martin isn’t doing particularly well
from a financial standpoint at the moment but it continues to build some of the
most attractive cars on the market. One of the British marque’s most striking
vehicles is the DB11, its gorgeous grand tourer introduced as a successor to
the DB9 in 2016 and the first car launched after Aston Martin’s technical
tie-up with Daimler. With vehicles including the new Vanquish, Valhalla, and
Valkyrie to develop, it’s unlikely that the DB11 will be substantially updated
or replaced anytime soon. In fact, it could remain in production for the better
part of this entire decade.
Nevertheless, designer Tedoradze has
released a rendering of what a potential successor to the DB11 could look like.
Dubbed the DB12, it adopts a more striking design than the current car and
could prove all the more appealing if it were to become a reality.
The rear is characterized by a set of
sharp LED taillights and an angular decklid with a subtle lip spoiler, perhaps
inspired by the current Vantage. Look towards the base of the rear fascia and
you will notice an aggressive diffuser and a set of two rectangular tailpipes.
The sides of the car share some resemblance to the DB11 with similarly shaped
side windows and the same vents behind the front wheels. However, the DB11 does
feature more angular lines as well as thinner and more eye-catching wing
mirrors.
Aston Martin built the DB9 from 2004 all
the way until 2016. If the car manufacturer sticks with a similar timeline for
the DB11, it may remain on sale until the mid 2020s.
