Yahoo Autos Next Aston Martin DB model debuts on May 24
The Aston Martin DB11 came to market in 2016, making it the oldest entry in the current range, icon of a former regime that the automaker's new leadership wants to recast if not strike down entirely. The car's replacement will debut on May 24, and Aston Martin has teased the arrival with the assessment, "This is no mere GT. Grand is not enough." The exterior images confirm the coupe we expect to be called DB12 won't be an all-new offering; these are DB11 bones laid up with more muscle, better reflexes, enhanced technology. At the front, the clamshell hood is gone, replaced by a traditional panel bracketed by the fenders. It looks like there's a larger grille with the hallmark five horizontal slats. These appear to be the same headlight housings, but each contains a triplicate of lamps and a new DRL signature.
