Regardless of its age, interior foibles or perceived familiarity, there's no denying the Aston Martin Vantage remains a very pretty car. Everything just sort of works, doesn't it? There was and is nothing especially revolutionary about the design but that doesn't prevent it being one of the prettiest cars of recent times.
There will be arguments running until the V8's replacement about whether the coupe or Roadster is the prettier car. What we can be certain of is the V12 S Roadster will be the fastest open Vantage yet and, if the coupe is anything to go by, fairly excellent to drive.
Aston launched the V12 S in Palm Springs and going by these photos we'd assume the Roadster has been photographed somewhere similar. Looks rather good doesn't it? Hot and dusty environment, winding roads and a V12 Aston. It had to be POTW. We'll endeavour to drive a V12 S Roadster as soon as is possible (there will no doubt be many selfless volunteers) but here's the next best thing until that time. Enjoy!
