阿斯顿马丁的产品开发正在加速进行，最近谍照记者首次拍到了下一代Vantage。很明显，该车仍处于开发早期阶段，其外观与DB11早期原型车非常接近。不过，该车明显更短，这表明它并非DB11，而是老旧的Vantage的替代车型。该车造型风格很可能与DB11遵循相同路线。但有报道称，新车很可能比现行版更低，更宽。另外，预计该车造型风格细节会与那两款车有很大不同以突出两车区别。车辆内装预计与DB11很接近，但这并非坏事，预计将采用更高质量内饰材质，提供数字仪表群和最新信息娱乐系统及八英寸显示屏。至于动力系统，新车将提供两台引擎，包括AMG提供的4.0升V8和新的5.2升V12，后者将于本周量产，最大功率608马力，扭矩516磅-英尺（约合700牛米）。新一代Vantage预计将于明年秋季发布，随后在不到一年内推出敞篷版。
2018 Aston Martin Vantage spied for the first time
Aston Martin's product revival is kicking into high gear as spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the next-generation Vantage.
Clearly in the early stages of development, the model resembles early prototypes of theDB11. However, this car is significantly shorter which indicates it's a successor to the aging Vantage.
The car's styling will likely follow in the footsteps of the DB11 but reports have suggested the new model will be lower and wider than the current Vantage. We can also expect a handful of styling tweaks to help differentiate the two models.
The interior is expected to be heavily influenced by the DB11 but that isn't a bad thing as we can expect higher quality materials, a digital instrument cluster, and a modern infotainment system with an eight-inch display.
Two different biturbo engines will be available including an AMG-sourced 4.0-liter V8 and a new 5.2-liter V12. The latter engine went into production earlier this week and develops 608 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.
The redesigned Vantage is expected to be introduced in the fall of 2017. It will be followed by a roadster which is slated to arrive less than a year later.
