However, since that won't be happening now, British racing driver and television presenter Tiff Needell, who only recently joined EVO magazine, chose the current DBS Volante to battle the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster.

This probably explains why the British supercar brand's engineers did not bother much with the camouflage on this test car that was photographed lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Nevertheless, some production details were left out from the concept, which we can now reveal thanks to our spy photographers as well as the folks from Autoblog.it who videotaped the new Vanquish in Italy while Aston Martin was shooting press pictures.
The styling changes over the prototype we saw in May are limited to the more conventional looking alloy wheel designs, the black trimmed upper and lower front grilles as well as the painted spoilers, side skirts and rear diffuser.
Even though we doubt that anyone will be offended by this latest creation from German luxury tuning firm DMC, calling a car "Fakhuna" seems a like a poor naming choice to say the least…

That's no more because Car Magazine was somehow at the right place at the right time when one of Aston Martin's trailers carrying the production model was left unsupervised for a few seconds, which was more than enough time to film the badge at the rear end of the car.

Mind you, this is not one of your run-of-the-mill concept studies but a pre-production version of the DBS replacement that will make its debut later this year before it goes on sale worldwide in early 2013.
With the exception of the two-tone alloy wheels and the visible carbon fiber aero kit and mirrors, this is the same car we showed you a couple of day ago testing on the Nürburgring.
The styling of the DBS replacement has been freshened up in a revolutionary kind of way with design cues from the One-77, especially in the profile with the sharper and more pronounced front and rear fenders, and the use of chrome on the window line, as well as the rounded rear with the stretched 'C' shaped tail lamps.
Note that according to some sources, Aston Martin may replace the DBS nameplate with a new one, though we have yet to hear this from channels.
To save you some research time, we can tell you that the 2013 model year DBS or whatever Aston Martin decides to call it, adopts some styling cues from the One-77 such as the more heavily arched front and rear panels, the door mirrors along with new front and rear lights, and grille and bumper designs.
