Aston Martin loves powering the rear wheels of their flagship vehicles with a V12, and we all know that their latest creation is also driven by their epic twin-turbo V12 petrol engine generating around 600 horsepower. However, one such model has been spotted with a different driving force.
That’s right; a 2018 Aston Martin DB11 has been taken to the Nurburgring with a 4-litre twin turbocharged V8 motor underneath the bonnet instead, still powering the rear wheels by the way. Estimated to produce around 500+ horsepower which may come as a surprise if you didn’t know about the British brand joining forces with Mercedes AMG.
That would explain the similar output and the same engine powering this example covered in confusing black and white swirls.

We already know that the vehicle will be powered by the mentioned V12 on launch, however, with this version spotted, a V8 model could be an optional extra or even standard base models. An identical engine will also find a home underneath the bonnet of the nex-generation of V8 Vantage sport cars.
With the heavy camouflage, it’s hard to tell if the V8 DB11 will offer any unique markings to symbolise it’s different heart although we expect them to keep it similar.
When this luscious sports car rolls off the production line is yet to be confirmed as well as its price tag. The same can be said about the upcoming Vantage V8.
Note: Standard DB11 shown
