The second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish was unveiled in 2012, when it replaced the DBS V12 and revived a nameplate Aston Martin had previously used between 2001 to 2007. Although its exterior design is an evolution of the DBS, the One-77-inspired styling cues give it a unique appearance in the Aston Martin lineup. The grand tourer has already received two mild updates by 2016, the most important being a tweaked engine and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. A more extensive facelift is set to follow in either late 2016 or early 2017.
Having already launched a gorgeous version penned by famous coachbuilder Zagato, Aston Martin is already testing an upgraded version of the Vanquish. Likely to be called the Vanquish S, it will follow in the footsteps of the first-generation model, bringing significant updates on the outside and a more powerful engine under the hood.
A test car was spotted near the Nurburgring track, which leads us to believe that Aston Martin is in the final testing phase, with the production model to be unveiled within the next few months.
The upgraded Vanquish S will be sold for about two or three years, before it will be replaced by a new grand tourer based on the DB11. This version is expected to be launched sometime in 2018. Until that happens, let’s have a look at what the refreshed Vanquish will bring to the table.
