Aston Martin will announce plans soon for a replacement for its flagship DBS, according to Bloomberg. Production will begin at the end of the year, said Michael van der Sande, Aston's chief commercial officer.

The AM310 prototype shown at last month's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Italy's Lake Como, may be a hint of "something that might be to come," he said.

"We really see it as our 100th anniversary car that kind of spells out our direction for the next century, in terms of design, in terms of technology," van der Sande said.

The AM310 is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12.
