Aston-Martin V8 Volante and DBS coupe - Spy Shots

The new DBS is expected to replace the Vanquish at the top of Aston’s lineup next year. It is based on an uprated version of the DB 9, has a wider track and lower ground clearance, bold scoops and air intakes in the front, and according to rumours the V12 engine’s performance was boosted from 450 bhp to over 500 bhp.

The new V8 is expected to come onto market within the next six months. It will have the same 380hp V8 under the hood and it will send the power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
