It’s been just two weeks since the successor to the Aston Martin DB9 was spotted carving the Nurburgring, and the Brits already started testing a new mule of their upcoming grand tourer. It wouldn’t be a big deal if the prototype was wearing the old DB9 body in the process, but this new mule gives us our first look at the DB11’s design. I say "DB11" because that’s the name the DB9’s successor is likely to receive, since Aston Martin already trademarked it and since the DB10 moniker is already used by the one-off car created for the James Bond "Spectre" movie.
Expect the DB11 to break cover sometime in 2016 for the 2017 model year, as the first Aston Martin built on the company’s new platform. The DB9, and all the other Aston Martins currently in production for that matter, including the DB10, use the VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture introduced all the way back in 2001. New engines are also on the table, so make sure you keep reading to find out more about the upcoming DB11.
