2027 Aston Martin Vantage RS Spied Testing: Mid-Mount Quad Exhaust and High-Downforce Aero

The 2027 Aston Martin Vantage RS was recently spotted undergoing road tests in Germany. The test car features a centrally mounted quad-exhaust layout, Pirelli high-performance rear tires sized 325/30 ZR21, and retains its high-downforce aerodynamic package. Compared to the prototype revealed in April this year—which sported eight exhaust tips—the latest test vehicle is much closer to production form, now equipped with four centrally positioned tailpipes and a large rear wing. Up front, the design includes a more pronounced front lip, an enlarged grille, and side air curtains aimed at improving airflow efficiency to the radiator and front braking system. Under the hood, the new model is expected to be powered by an AMG-supplied V8 engine, delivering 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque without electric assistance and producing at least 671 horsepower.
