The “small” Aston was launched as the V8 Vantage in late 2005. Its Roadster variant waited until in 2007, then received the V12 from 2009 (in addition to the V8). In early 2011, the range benefitted from a facelift that brought new bumpers, as well as an S version that boosts the 4.7-litre V8 from 426 to 436 hp and receives a 7-speed robotised gearbox. Here we have a 2014 V12 model year.
