Very probably

File this one under unconfirmed-but-very-plausible and then batten down the hatches. An image purporting to show the upcoming Aston DBS coupe has leaked onto the great interweb…

The leak appears to have first burst forth from unofficial James Bond fan site MI6.co.uk. And unless you’ve been boning up for a spot on the Olympic navel gazing team, you’ll be well aware that the DBS is slated to appear in the next 007 flick, a remake of Casino Royale. New bond boy Daniel Craig is said to have viewed the car at Aston’s Gaydon HQ back in January.

No firm technical details are known regarding the DBS, but unless we have our fuel lines crossed, it will replace the Vanquish at the top of the A-M range and is almost definitely based on the same flexible, modular architecture as the V8 Vantage and DB9 models. Likewise, we’ll give this new image the benefit of the doubt since it mostly matches the Corgi die-cast DBS model accidentally shown at a UK toy fair recently and the design sketch Aston itself has released. The DBS is due to debut in Casino Royale on November 17th.
