The British automaker has been spied testing a possible hotter DB11 variant.
Sporting a larger front spoiler, wider side skirts, aggressive rear diffuser and what appears to be a bigger front grille, Aston Martin is likely working on a DB11 S. This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, considering Aston Martin offered the DBS model for the DB9 and has offered high-performance variants for the Vanquish, Rapide and Vantage models.
The prototype is wearing heavy camouflage, but you can make out some of the details of the larger front opening, even though Aston Martin is trying to mask it with a white mesh grille.

What’s more interesting is the interior. Up front there is a pair of Recaro seats, while a roll cage can be seen in the rear, suggesting this is a hardcore track model. It’s more likely however that those have been installed for testing purposes, especially if Aston Martin is eventually taking the DB11 S onto the track. Expect comfy, luxurious seats up front in the production version. There is a possibility the British automaker will offer a roll cage as an option, similar to Porsche’s hardcore sports cars.
