Well, that’s what we were hoping when we got the launch invite for a new Aston Martin DB11 variant, because for the first time in nearly 50 years, there’s a V8 under the bonnet...
Took them long enough... here it is, the new 2018 Aston Martin Vantage. A new (DB10-inspired) look and AMG power (heavily fettled). What do you think?
Read the full article here. When a new turbocharged future was confirmed for the Aston Martin DB11, the news should have caused Trump-levels of protests outside the brand’s factory in Gaydon. Well, that’s what I thought - right up until the moment I got inside the new DB11 and went for a drive. ...
