谍照记者最近在德国纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的阿斯顿马丁Vanquish S轿跑车和敞篷车。这两款车都采用了新的前保险杠和更大进气口，车头底部边缘增加了分流器。车尾配备的硕大散流器与后保险杠集成在一起，这表明车厂更关注车身底部气动布局的提升，而车尾扰流器和侧裙似乎都没有改变。在后保险杠底部是新的四排气尾管，这表明动力获得提升。标准版Vanquish搭载的6.0升V12引擎功率576马力，而Vanquish S功率预计将提升至600马力。阿斯顿马丁已经宣布，到2020年将推出五款新车，这其中包括新一代Vanquish。不过，车厂并未透露具体发布时间，只是表示，该车将在2018年下一代Vantage之后发布。而这款Vanquish S不太可能在2017年之前发布，因此该车的生命周期其实很短。

 

Hardcore Aston Martin Vanquish S spied at Nurburgring

It won't be long before a replacement for the current Aston Martin Vanquish comes along, based on the all-new architecture of the DB11. But there's clearly some life left in the old dog yet, as these images suggest a hardcore Vanquish S version is in development.

 

Both Coupe and Volante variants were spotted being tested near the Nurburgring. Both wear a new front bumper with a larger intake and corner splitters with a little flick ahead of the front wheels.

 

Around the back, there's a huge diffuser in a redesigned rear bumper. It suggests the aerodynamics improvements are focused on the underside of the car, especially as both the rear spoiler and side skirts appear unchanged.

 

The rear bumper also houses a new quad-tailpipe exhaust system, pointing to an increase in power. The standard Vanquish produces 576 horsepower from its 6.0-litre V12 engine; a figure of around 600 HP seems likely for the Vanquish S, though that's just speculation at this point.

 

Aston Martin has announced plans to launch five new models by 2020, including the next Vanquish. But it is being vague about exact launch dates, saying only that the Vanquish will follow on from the next-generation Vantage, which is due in 2018. This Vanquish S is unlikely to be ready before 2017, so it will likely prove relatively short-lived.
