Even though we’ve already gotten a glimpse of Aston Martin’s DBS successor, which we know will be called the Vanquish, the company launched a peep show featuring the AM310 concept previewing the soon-to-be-released model.
Although this striptease offers a very limited view, we can see LED-lined headlights, aggressively flared fenders, and plenty of exposed carbon fiber, which is right in line with what we’ve seen from Aston at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.
- Comparison Test: V12 Vantage vs. R8 V10, 458 Italia, SLS AMG, 911 Turbo S
- Comparison Test: 2010 Aston Martin Rapide vs. 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo
- First Drive: 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S
We know that the AM310 concept has a carbon-fiber body on Aston’s aluminum VH platform, which we expect to carry over to production, as well as its tweaked 5.9-liter V-12 that should produce north of 550 hp. We expect the Vanquish to make its public debut this fall at the Paris auto show.
