A Roadster version was unveiled in November 2006 for production mid-way through 2007. Midway through 2008, the engine grew in capacity from 4.3 litres to 4.7 litres with peak power jumping to 420bhp. The V8 Vantage S was introduced in 2011 with its 7 speed Sportshift II transmission and engine uprated to 430bhp. By 2012, the regular V8 Vantage received a host of updates first seen on the S model including the optional 7 speed transmission. Most excitingly, Aston Martin managed to take their biggest engine and squeezed it into the smallest bodyshell to create the V12 Vantage. Initially seen as a fully running concept, production began in late Spring 2009 and the car sold strongly around the world. Eventually the V12 Vantage Roadster was announced in July 2012 with a very short run of only 101 production cars. The special editions continued with variants like the V8 N400 and N430, track honed performance versions. We also got the Vantage AMR, a limited-edition,&nbsp;track-focused variant with 600 horsepower and aggressive aerodynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aston Martin Vantage V8 &amp; V12: 2005 &#8211; 2018 The car that saved Aston Martin&#8230;again.
