Aston Martin Built Something With Eight Exhaust Pipes Before Anyone Knew It Existed. Our Photographer Just Found It

An AutoNotion photographer not too long ago captured some pictures of what seems to be like an Aston Martin Vantage at first look — then you definitely discover how completely bonkers this factor is. This factor has eight exhaust pipes.

Believed to be the upcoming Aston Martin Vantage RS, that is no peculiar Vantage. There’s an aggressive rear wing and people brightly coloured brake calipers. This is certain to be a excessive efficiency model of the already fairly excessive efficiency Vantage, however does it actually need these eight exhaust pipes?

The thriller of the eight exhaust pipes

The check mule of the Aston Martin Vantage RS is a little bit of a thriller. The added options on the again level to this being a extra excessive model of the Vantage, however we aren’t fairly positive what’s new beneath all of it.

The present Vantage has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces as much as 670 horsepower, permitting it to succeed in 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds and a prime velocity of 202 mph. Already fairly spectacular. But we count on the RS to prime that. While the wing is a pleasant addition, the entrance and sides are largely the identical — why make a mannequin that’s almost equivalent? There’d be no level except there was one thing taking place past its look, doubtless throughout the powertrain.

However, what would wish eight exhaust pipes? The Vantage RS we spied on had two exhaust pipes in every nook — per ordinary — however then 4 extra within the center. Yes, 4 extra. It would appear like Aston Martin is planning one thing loopy, nevertheless it’s greater than doubtless that the 4 within the center aren’t practical.

There is just one different automotive that options that many exhaust pipes: the Bugatti Tourbillon Equipe Pur Sang, a custom-made $4 million-plus hypercar with a 1,775-horsepower hybrid V16 engine.

I extremely doubt the Vantage RS may have a V16 engine in want of eight exhaust pipes. The present Vantage has a V8, however Aston Martin has been dedicated to discovering methods to maintain the V12 alive till 2030. Could the Vantage RS match a V12?

“There’s always opportunities and we’re still looking at how can we extend the life of 12-cylinder [engines] through emissions development activity as we speak. But end of the decade is pretty much the end of 12-cylinder [engines] as we currently see,” Adrian Hallmark, international CEO of Aston Martin, advised The Drive.

Seems a bit unlikely to even get the Vantage RS to a V12, not to mention a V16. Maybe it’s to throw us off.

Well, when you look intently, you’ll discover that the middle exhaust pipes don’t have the identical end because the 4 on the surface. More than doubtless, the Vantage RS may have the 4 middle exhaust pipes for a brand new central exhaust system. The outer ones have been in all probability left on from the earlier mannequin. It is sensible while you see that the remainder of the automotive doesn’t look all that polished both. It’s nonetheless a really early have a look at the Vantage RS.

This was our first time seeing the automotive, and it positively left an impression, trick or not.

There is at present no launch date for the Aston Martin Vantage RS, however we’ll be looking out for extra details about these exhaust pipes.
