最近谍照记者在瑞典拍到了正在进行寒冷气候测试的阿斯顿马丁DB11 Volante，该车当时采用了轻度伪装。与先前拍到的车辆一样，这辆车身同色外伪装的敞篷车同样在后轮拱和行李箱盖上增加了面板以掩盖车辆从轿跑车到敞篷车之后的改变。拿掉车顶意味着砍掉了C柱和重新设计车尾，以便可以让织物软顶折叠后放入行李箱内。考虑到主动后扰流器仍隐藏在伪装下，结构复杂的AeroBlade也进行了改进。而在Volante更宽阔的臀部也将设置一对进气口。车头部分也将有另一些改变，引擎盖下部似乎与轿跑车略有不同。这或许是因为DB11 Volante原型车搭载了一台4.0升V8双涡轮引擎，不过这一点现在还无法完全确定。阿斯顿马丁或许会让V12车型外观与V8车型不同，因此这辆车的引擎盖的设计看起来有点不一样。时间会告诉我们一切。目前还不清楚该车将于何时发布，但车厂已经确认该车将于明年亮相，或许这款车将在明年日内瓦车展发布。

 

2018 Aston Martin DB11 Volante spied u。p close and personal

Aston Martin DB11 Volante has been spotted once again as a lightly camouflaged prototype undergoing cold-weather testing in Sweden. Just like before, the body-colored disguise takes the shape of add-on panels slapped onto the rear fenders and trunk lid to hide the changes the coupe is going through to in order become a convertible.

 

Chopping off the roof means axing the C-pillar and redesigning the rear end in order to accommodate the fabric roof when folded down. The intricate AeroBlade is also being modified considering the active rear spoiler remains concealed underneath camo. It’s going to work in tandem with a pair of intakes that will likely be installed on the Volante’s wider hips.

 

There might be another change at the front where the hood’s gills seem to be slightly different than those of the coupe sitting next to it. One could speculate the reason for that is because the DB11 Volante prototype had the biturbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, although we can’t say for sure.

 

Aston Martin will probably want to differentiate the V12-powered version from the V8 model in terms of exterior styling, so it might decide to give the hood a slightly different design. Time will tell.

 

It’s unclear at this point when the folks from Gaydon will take the wraps off the DB11 Volante, but considering it has already been confirmed for a spring 2018 launch, we might see it in about a year from now at the Geneva Motor Show.
