Aston Martin has something up their sleeve for March 22nd as the company has teased a high-performance coupe.
The automaker is keeping details under wraps, but the model appears to be based on the Vantage. That remains unconfirmed, but the car has been equipped with a front spoiler and a more traditional grille.
Elsewhere, there are stylish alloy wheels and sportier front fender vents. We can also see a prominent rear wing and a classic green paint job.

Autocar notes the vehicle shares a number of similarities with the Vantage F1 safety car, so this is likely a new special edition. If that’s the case, the aerodynamic styling tweaks could provide an additional 132+ lbs (60+ kg) of downforce at 124 mph (200 km/h).
Furthermore, the model could benefit from a retuned suspension and a sportier steering setup. The safety car also boasts additional underbody bracing to increase structural stiffness, but there’s no word on whether or not that would carryover to the road-going model.
One thing we can expect is an upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine. In the safety car, the output has been increased to 528 hp (393 kW / 535 PS) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque. This enables the model to run from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 3.5 seconds.
