New Aston Martin Vanquish to be called DBS Superleggera
Aston Martin's iconic DBS badge will return on a new model positioned as the brand's "flagship Super GT".
However, the vehicle won't be called a Vanquish as earlier thought. For now, details regarding the DBS Superleggera are scarce. It's the definitive Aston Martin super-GT.
Aston Martin has confirmed a change in the nomenclature of its most expensive series-production models - and it'll mean a critical change in layout and nature for a vehicle that has been Gaydon's top dog for longer than any other this century. At the rear, quad-exhaust tips replace the DB11's dual-tip design.
Then again, it's possible Aston Martin has something else in mind entirely, we'll just have to wait and see. More recently, the DBS was revived around a decade ago. A look at the wheels on some of the prototypes reveal some massive calipers biting equally massive carbon-ceramic discs.

MI vs DD IPL 2018 Match 9 Live Streaming
Although MI boast a win percentage of 58.27% in the last 10 seasons, they have often been found guilty of being slow starters. It was raining sixes and Delhi, despite losing their skipper in the sixth over, put up 53 runs in the powerplay.
That isn't the only thing Aston is pulling from the history books as it looks to the future though, with Touring's famous Superleggera script also set to adorn the - heavily sculpted - bonnet of a Gaydon auto once more.
When the new DBS does arrive - and AML say it will be unveiled in Q2 - expect it to sport more aggressive styling than the DB11, keep faith with the "Superleggera" bit by being lighter than you might expect, and have a meaty number of horses to play with. It's an icon, a statement - and this one will be no different. "When you hear the name DBS Superleggera, you know what it is".
"We've pushed the boundaries of performance and design to give this auto a distinct character and ensure it's worthy of the heritage and weight that this name carries", he added.
Aston Martin is yet to divulge any performance stats for the DBS Superleggera, however it's fair to assume power will be in the region of 700bhp, which would put sufficient daylight between it and the DB11 V12 which produces 600bhp.
