With the car being spotted more and more around the Nürburgring, MotorAuthority managed to make a nice video of the car testing. The details of the car stay unclear at the moment but recent speculation suggests that the car could get power from a V12 pushing out approximately 480 bhp (358 kW/487 PS) which could potentially push the luxury sedan to 62 mph (100 kmh) in 5.5 seconds. The sound coming out of the exhaust pipes and the engine is promissing a lot! Enjoy the video after the jump!

The guys of Autocar announced some bad news for the lucky few that are waiting to see the Aston Martin DBS delivered on their driveway. The DBS got delayed for about three-months. The problem apparently stems from suppliers who aren’t able to deliver Aston with the one-off parts necessary to complete the DBS. Next to the DBS’s delivered to Hollywood for the James Bond movies, all cars are waiting to be finished in Aston Martin productionhall.

Business is going good at Aston Martin and will probably go better in the future with the announced Vantage V12 RS and the DBS Convertible. Latest drawnings show us the Aston Martin AM V10 and we have to say it looks good! But sorry for everybody who was already dreaming, this car is a computer design and it will stay that way. On the other hand we are not taking away all hope because sources say that Aston Martin is working on a middle-engined V10 supercar.

Recent pre-production shots of the Aston Martin Rapide testing at the Nurburgring show the four door sedan to have a ‘panoramic style’ windscreen. The glass stretches right from the front windscreen of the car, all the way to the back hatch, opening up the sky view to all passengers. Evidently, the car is still in the production process but the lack of camouflage suggests that it is progressing nicely into a full production ready car, the last time it was spotted in public was in the snow.

With finally all our photos from the Geneva Auto Salon added to our gallery, it’s time to wrap up our coverage with some highlights and a couple remarkable finds. From the major manufacturers it was the Volkswagen Group that suprised us the most. Their brands Audi and Lamborghini had, also according to our readers, the highlights of the show at their stands.
