The only other thing I would add in is an Aston Martin Voltage (pronounced “ Vool-taj” ) all electric sedan based on the Rapide and eventually spin that off into another sub-brand. I also didn’t realize how large of a lineup Aston Martin has in general.

If you’re going to turn Lagonda into a thing again, do a remake of this interior while you’re at it.

I have my team already working on this! If we dont have the preproduction specification out by 2020 then Ill resign from my post at Aston Martin. Im just that confident!

The Rapide V12 S liftback should have 710 hp and cost about 30k more than the Vantage S with the same hp.
I’ve already doubled down on my weekly lotto tickets so that I may purchase this car when it is ready.

V8 DB series?

But everyone lines up for a $450,000 V6 Ford. The future is a frightening fetish.

Not to mention the DB series hardly being a V12-only line historically
DB1(originally called 2-liter sports)-I4
DB2 through DB6-I6
DBS-V8
Vantage-V8
DB7-I6 again! Eventually, V12
DB9-V12
DB11-V12
So, based off pedigree alone a twin-turbo I6 makes the most sense

Preferably making sure it actually works this time

V12 Vantage......
....that’s it :]
Maybe some sort of exotic thing but not really unless it competes in actual motor sport.

But in a Ford GT, the bragging rights are lap times and cornering G’s . In the land of luxury grand tourers the bragging rights are cylinder count and how much leather is in your car.
Your layout also figures no V12 vantage, I’d be surprised if they don’t do another one.

I am officially apologizing to you Wobbles for thinking you were crazy for thinking that Aston Martin would put a V8 in their DB11. I tip my hat to you, you saw it coming!
