V12VR

[silverspeed]

Going in to production end of 2012. Dr Bez announced it today at Gaydon.

[Mr Beaumont]

I presume some on here are going to love that news, and others be slightly annoyed!

Have been hearing this on a German site who have seen the car being tested.
Good news as there might be some nice coupes coming on the market.

Sorry to sound smug but I was the one lonely voice in the wilderness who was adamant this would be the case, despite all saying

What a car that will be.

Sadly it will be well out of my reach

If this is true, somebody get an orange V12 Vantage Roadster ordered immediately

[George H]

Did he mention anything about production numbers? I wonder if it will be even more limited than the coupe. Can't see it doing much good for coupe prices though.

I hope they aren't all manual too, could be a good candidate for future car if they do an ASM2 or TT version.

[silverspeed]

Heard it myself so definately true. There is one car in existence already and another being built in a couple of months. Production will be to order only with estimated sales of only 50-100 cars ! It's going to be a monster! Saw The new Z car at the 1-77 facility- wow so much better in the flesh .

That's my Christmas 2012 present sorted then

[bogie]

cool

the truly rich and wealthy can buy those, and a 3-4 year old "regular" V12V will become affordable by us wages slaves ...I cant wait

[Lunablack]

I'd still prefer the coupe anyday

Aw That's just ruled it right out of my price bracket. Could be a good investment though, a sure future classic.

[yeti]

Hmm, hard to argue against that being my dream car... It actually has everything!!

I really need to think long and hard about it. Running that alongside my DB9 might be rather fun, losing a few of the others. Hmm.

[Rex Racer]

Anyone know if this car will have the same engine specs as the coupe? I'm assuming this one will also have 510 bhp?

[JohnG1]

If it goes into production at the end of 2012 I'd expect it'll have the DBS 2 engine, so 540bhp.

Then expect a V12V-S run out model with the DBS 2 engine...

What else do you expect from an ex-Porsche guy?

[Rex Racer]

Really hope you're wrong John!

A V12V Roadster makes perfect sense to me, but not a V12V-S. They already struggled to sell all 1000 V12V in more than 2.5 years. If they are going to release an S version with upgraded engine, a lot of V12V customers will be p**** off. I doubt selling another 100-200 V12V-S cars will justify that.

The most interresting thing to me is what gearbox does it come with. TT2, semi-manual oder manual ?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That, my friends, is the sound of excitement!

[Mako V12V]

If Aston do manage to stick with 1000 V12V's then would an even more limited run of V12VR's affect the coupe values?

I was told by a dealer that the full auto TT Box will not fit the Vantage chasis can anyone confirm this, BR?

Put me down as mightly pissed off!
I was told by several at Gaydon it would never happen so just bought a new S roadster.
Not best pleased
