The 462bhp Mk3 ’bahnstormer gets a second pair of doors for the first time, if our spy shots and rumours online are any indication. A two-door could follow, but for now the four-wheel drive GC will no doubt share the latest B3's twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre petrol straight six. Expect a sub 4.0-sec 0-62mph time, but with a torque figure that will be shamed by the diesel engined D4, with enough torque to pull a house down.
Aston Martin has finally confirmed that its largest engine will find its way into its smallest car for 2022. That’s a tantalising enough prospect in its own right, no doubt, but as critics voice concern about the potential homogenisation of Astons under former Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Moers, it’s also a welcome indication that Gaydon’s finest still know how to have a bit of fun.
So, a fitting finale for both one of our favourite sports cars and one of our favourite engines? You would certainly think so. Chances are that it will pack upwards of 650bhp, crack the 0-62mph sprint in well under four seconds and – if Aston’s engineers have managed to mitigate the weight of a heftier powerplant than the V8 – whip round a circuit with the best of ’em.
Fitted to the four-seat SV model, it’s mounted on a meticulously sculpted piece of billet aluminium that rises hypnotically from the back of the centre console – a process tested some 11,000 times by Land Rover’s engineers – to provide a flexible dining-area-cum-desk for the aristocratic rear-seat passengers.
If that’s the new V12 Vantage then makes sense - raised bonnet like the speedster to fit the V12 in, no obvious wing and wow I love the aggressive front.
