Aston Martin has been testing its all-new Vantage
on the Nordschliefe in Germany ahead of a 2017
launch. A right-hand-drive mule was spied cutting
laps wearing some tricky camouflage. The British
brand’s entry-level model is expected to be
shorter, wider and substantially lighter than the


current Vantage, yet will use the same extruded
and bonded aluminium architecture that will
underpin the bigger DB11 due to be launched soon,
which also means double wishbones up front and a
multi-link rear suspension. The DB11 will be Aston’s
first all-new model in more than a decade.
