最近谍照记者拍到了正在纽伯格林赛道测试的下一代阿斯顿马丁Vanquish。虽然从外观看，新车没有太多亮点，但该车确实是一个性能怪兽，搭载V12引擎的DB11功率达到608马力，而Vanquish预计将达到650至700马力。从照片上可以看到Vanquish与DB11在外观上的不同。前者的前保险杠更具侵略性，采用了更大进气口和更大格栅开口。引擎盖上的散热孔也更大，所有这些表明Vanquish的进气和燃油系统将获得系列升级，因此需要排出更多的热量。该车的前大灯和尾灯组也采用了不同设计，尤其是尾灯组看起来比以前的原型车更大。车尾采用了更具侵略性四排气尾管和新的散流器，车身侧面可见更大侧踏板。现行版Vanquish是从2012年开始销售的，也许有不少人会对新车放弃采用V12自然进气引擎感到遗憾，但据说新车动力没有提升。预计该车将于明年发布，2019年初上市。
2019 Aston Martin Vanquish Spied Looking Mean At Nürburgring
Today we get a great look at the next Vanquish as it prowls the streets around the Nürburgring. There isn’t much to hide obviously, and though the matte black finish is supposed to throw us off a bit, and it should definitely be a beast – specific power figures, but with the DB11’s V12 making 608 ponies, the Vanquish is expected to make somewhere between 650 and 700 horsepower.
These photos also help us see the changes on the Vanquish versus the DB11. The front bumper has a significantly more aggressive look, featuring larger air intakes with a bigger grille opening. The hood vents are also larger – all of which suggests the Vanquish will have a serious appetite for air and fuel, and a serious need to get rid of excess heat.
On the purely visual side, we see a different design for the headlights as well as the taillights, the latter of which will likely cover a larger section than what we see on this prototype. The rear also sports a fairly aggressive quad exhaust setup with a new diffusor and big side sills.
The current Vanquish has been on sale since 2012, and while the new model’s shape isn’t a huge departure for Aston Martin, more than a few people are lamenting the demise of the car’s naturally aspirated V12. While there’s certainly something to be said for an engine without power adders. Expect a full reveal sometime next year, with sales beginning in 2019.
