Overview :
Aston Martin presented its new F1 car on Thursday, but there is more news to report from Gaydon. Owner Lawrence Stroll has announced that the brand’s sports cars (Vantage† DB11† DBS Superleggera) will receive a thorough update in 2023. Autocar reports that. “They will be very different from the current models,” Canadian billionaire and father of F1 pilot Lance Stroll said.
touch screen
One of the issues that will be addressed is the infotainment system. Now an old system with trackpad from Mercedes is still in use, an agreement from the old management that stated that at least 3 year old Mercedes technology must be used. “How can you have a £150,000 Aston Martin with 3 year old technology?” Stroll rightly remarks. The new models will therefore have the latest touch screens from Mercedes, but with their own look and feel† with a different voice for navigation, for example. But would the voice assistant still respond to ‘Hey Mercedes’?
Chassis and engines
In addition to the interior experience, the renewed Aston Martins will also receive adjustments to the chassis and the engines, although we are not yet given any details. There would be big differences in the front axle in particular, with which the Vantage et al. “will feel as it should have been from the start”, Stroll again said. The AMG V8 should also receive an upgrade, while the V12 may also stay in the DB11 and DBS for a while. We’ll know more at the end of this year or early next year…
