Watch The New Aston Martin Vantage Lay Down Some Hot Laps At The Nurburgring

Looking at the Nurburgring test runs, the 2024Aston Martin Vantagehas a familiar look, albeit with a few design tweaks. The sharp horizontal headlights have been discarded in favor of a rounder finish, reminiscent of the ones in theDBXor even the Valhalla. Moreover, the prototype arrived with a taller and revamped grille that doesn't span the length of the front end.

At the back, the changes were hardly seen, if there were any. It would be great to have themassive wing similar to the Vantage F1 Editionbe offered as an option, though.

But remember, this is still the prototype so we could see more styling tweaks in the coming months. Meanwhile, the cabin was hidden, suggesting AM might've incorporated interior changes.

The Aston Martin Vantage can be seen zooming past traffic at the Ring, including a Volkswagen Golf R and Porsche Panamera. But perhaps the most noteworthy car was aHyundai Ioniq 5 N, the upcoming high-performance version of the Korean automaker's retro-styled electric vehicle (EV).

Aston Martin is expected to launch the new Vantage V8 towards the end of the year or early 2024.
