"The new DB11 and new Vantage both look like Astons," Aston boss Andy Palmer told TopGear.com last year, "but side by side they don"t look anything like each other." We"ll leave that up to you*.For today, we bring you images of a prototype new Vantage, snapped on the roads in the UK. And yes, though it"s covered in camouflage, it certainly looks handsome.As per Palmer"s comments, it looks recognisably Aston, but there"s more than a fair dose of DB10 in those flanks (that"s the DB10 from James Bond flick Spectre), which is no bad thing at all.Squint, and you"ll even spot a wee sprinkle of Vulcan in there too. Vulcan sprinkles are officially Top Gear"s favourite kind of sprinkles.Outside of that, information is sparse. We know that the new Vantage will use a shortened version of the DB11"s new bonded aluminium chassis, but will have been tuned for a rather different effect than in the GT-orientated DB.
