Scoop: New Aston Martin Vanquish Caught Completely Undisguised in Pictures and on Film

The presentation of the AM310 Concept at last month's Concorso d'Eleganza in Italy didn't leave much to the imagination in regards to the appearance of the replacement of the DBS, which as we later on found out, will be named Vanquish.

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.

New Scoop Video Reveals that DBS Replacement will be Named Vanquish

Even though Aston Martin practically revealed the next DBS at last week's Concorso d'Eleganza vintage and concept car show in Italy with the AM310 Design Concept, up until now, we were in the dark about the production model's final name.

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.

Aston Martin Previews New DBS with AM310 Concept at Concorso d'Eleganza [Videos]

One of the surprise debutants of the 2012 edition of the Concorso d'Eleganza, which took place in Lake Como in northern Italy this weekend, is the Aston Martin Project AM310 Concept.

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.
