Aston Martin has taken to the track in what appears to be the rumoured DB11 S, but this isn’t the first time.
Set to chase after the new incredibly powerful Bentley Continental GT Supersports, the DB11 S will utilise the same 5.2-litre V12 with an additional kick. Estimates range from 630-650 horsepower which falls short compared to its rival.
Current versions of the DB11 sports cars pump out 600 horsepower which allows it to launch to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 322 km/h.
With an additional kick, its sprint time should drop to at least 3.8 seconds or less while retaining the 320 km/h+ top speed.
While increased power is what makes our spine tingle, the model will feature various additions to the exterior for aero benefits. We can’t dismiss a high-performance braking system and an exclusive sports suspension system to allow the DB11 S to sit lower down to the ground.
When will the DB11 S see the light of day?
It is believed that Aston Martin will launch the new range-topping DB11 S sometime next year and should hit showroom floors by the end of 2018. Conveniently Bentley hasn’t confirmed when the new Supersports coupe will hit showrooms either or a price tag either.
Prices remain a mystery as of now. However, you can expect a slight increase compared to base DB11’s. It’s worth noting the DB11 S nameplate is just a place holder at the moment, its official name is unconfirmed.
