New Information on the 2025 Aston Martin DBS Successor Model Released

Aston Martin has again been spotted testing the successor to the DBS, with some of the camouflage removed from the previous sighting.

Unlike the DB12 and the new Vantage, which feature designs that are clearly evolved from their respective predecessors, the DBS successor, which is rumored to revive the Vanquish name, appears to feature a significantly new design.

The front has even wider intakes than those found on the DBS, a model that originally debuted in 2018 as the DBS Superleggera. The headlights seem to follow a similar theme to the lights used on the DB12 and the new Vantage, with a conventional hood serving as the front fenders instead of the large carbon fiber pieces on the DBS.

The new car appears longer than the DBS, and its C-pillars have a more classic design, in contrast to the floating roof-like design of the DBS. The rear looks more chunky and may have been influenced by last year's stunning Valour coupe.

Under the hood should be a more powerful version of the 5.2-liter V12 twin-turbo used in the DBS. This engine produced 759 hp in the final DBS Ultimate model and could produce close to 800 hp in the DBS successor. The only transmission is a rear-mounted 8-speed automatic, driving only the rear wheels.

There are no clear shots of the interior, but a completely redesigned dashboard with a more advanced infotainment system, similar to that seen on the DB12 and the new Vantage, appears to be planned The DBS's design borrows from Mercedes-Benz's outdated technology borrowed from Mercedes-Benz.

The debut is expected later this year. In other words, it is likely to appear in the U.S. as a 2025 model.

The DBS successor will be the flagship of Aston Martin's front-engine lineup. However, Aston Martin also plans to introduce a mid-engine Valhalla at the top of the lineup this year, as well as plug-in hybrid technology.
