The teasers suggest that the DB11’s successor will get an evolutionary design retaining all the hallmarks of a GT car such as the long bonnet, sleek profile and short rear end. The headlamps feature an updated design with three LED lighting elements in each unit while the nose will continue to feature the trademark Aston Martin girl. The bonnet meanwhile features a number of cuts and creases along with vents to help extricate heat from the engine.
A teaser of the interior meanwhile provides a glimpse of the centre console showcasing the central touchscreen, engine start-stop switch, gear lever, and some of the other control surfaces for various driving settings and the air-con system.
