Why Aston Martin Trademarks “Aeroblade” Name?

- in Cars

According to the recent findings published by Autoguide, Aston Martin has just reserved the name “Aeroblade” in the Patent Register on intellectual property. Therefore, we can conclude that the British manufacturer is preparing something, and many have connected this news with a potential production of a road-going version of the track-only Vulcan.

On the other hand, others believe that this name will be used for parts and technologies that will be embedded in some of the future models of Aston Martin.
Maybe aero-brakes? Moving parts to strengthen support high speed? Both of them?

One of the main candidates for using this patented name is the active rear spoiler derived from the track-only Vulcan. This model comes with very impressive aerodynamic elements that will likely influence the upcoming vehicles of this brand.

There is another point in favor of those who claim that Aeroblade will not be used as a name for a future model of Aston Martin. In Aston Martin there is a practice to name their models with initial letter V (Vanquish, Vulcan) or DB (DB9 or forthcoming DB11), but there are exceptions as well, like the Cygnet city car or a four-door coupe Rapide. That means that the mystery with the name Aeroblade will still be a subject of speculations.

The people from Aston Martin also announced that by the end of this decade they will completely renew the offer of vehicles, but they will also show something new in some segments that are not typical for them. The most typical among them are the crossover concept DBX and the fully electric, 1.000bhp, four-wheel drive RapidE, developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering.

The first novelty which will be officially unveiled is the new DB11, probably at the Geneva Motor Show. This model will succeed the DB9, which is over a decade old, and it will be based on the enhanced VH platform. They will use the famous 6.0-liter V12 engine, possibly with turbocharging for added power and efficiency, as well as the latest twin-turbo V8 from Mercedes.
