It seems to be for Aston Martin a new era is beginning. British manufacturer of prestigious and sports cars wants to fly 2026 to present as many as eight new models, which we have already reported. The start belongs to the direct successor of the model DB11, but apparently something is going on with the model as well Vantage. At least if we look at the latest spy photos that show the new for the first time Vantage Roadsters.
But this vehicle is more like it updated predecessor as a completely new model. This prototype is very much at stake an early test vehicle, which still has many parts of the old bodywork. If new Vantage is based on its predecessor, that wouldn't be much of a surprise either. Because also the first prototypes of the model's successor DB11 they look quite familiar. At Aston Martin so they don't want to radically change the design of their vehicles. Nevertheless, we can tell a few things from the photos. New ones open Vantage has a wider mask and completely new headlights, which extend much further into the hood and look less slotted than on the predecessor. It's also hard to miss the edge of the front spoiler and the more centrally-located hood air intakes. The rear, however, seems to have remained unchanged.
As for the exterior Aston Martin, we rarely need to worry. V inside but it looks a little different. What a general renovation of the interior to the new one Vantage it wouldn't hurt. Infotainment system, based on the Mercedes solution, could make room for a more modern solution. But let's hope the designers don't go overboard with what's currently so popular by destroying real buttons and switches. The Vantage is currently very well positioned here and many buyers would welcome it to stay that way. Regarding the drive: Aston Martin he already said goodbye to V12 engine. Unfortunately, the lustful formula is “small car, big engine” a thing of the past. It was recently in the open Vantage also a 5,2-liter V12 engine with 700 hp. He will have to do the work in the future 4,0 liter V8 biturbo engine. In the F1 Edition, this AMG V8 engine develops 535 hp and 685 Nm of torque.
In addition traditional cars front-engined, sports car manufacturer based in to Gaydon it also works for an athlete Valhalla with a mid-mounted engine. In addition, development is not excluded heir of the hypercar model Valkyrie. But a real revolution will happen years 2025, when it will Aston Martin – you probably guessed, or at least guessed – offered humanity his own the first electric car.
