Just seen this video on youtube. Interesting in depth look at the new V600.

Here is the link:

Awesome, what a way to send off the old Vantage.

I didnt realise they were making 7 Roadster versions too .....although Im sure they will be out of my price range and likely already sold

Yeah sadly I think they are all spoken for. What a swan song for the V12 Vantage.....!

It is a wonderful end of line gesture, to include the original V8 sills (don't think the V12 Vantages ever had those sills).
I have always liked the way they do tend to accentuate the rear arches.

Loved the presenters final comment, "Unfortunately we don't have time to take the car out on the road".
Dream on perhaps.

I was hoping that the bonnet would be raised during the video. Noticed the sill plaque is not numbered, so are the individual numbers shown on an under bonnet plaque?

Thanks for sharing, that's a nicely put together video. The front bumper bulges look a little strange but the side profile, rear arches and rear are superb. It makes a great noise too.

Good video.

Interesting to see that it is shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. (Not the current Pilot Sport 4s)- neither are “AM approved”.

Silver Doom , special colour designed for the car early on when we started the design process . Project Dreadnought

You're one very lucky man.

Lovely car and some really nice touches.

Be great to see one in the flesh sometime.

Super nice. Enjoy responsably. This is what the GT12 should have been in the first place and it is a testament to your early involvement that AML got there at the end.

Truly beautiful, Mr. Doom

Would I be correct to guess your photos were taken outside the Wellesbourne AML Special Vehicles Operation?

When you have time, please post a photo of the V600 numbered plaque.

007, I presume Mr. Doom.

Enjoy.

Wow, what a superb combination - the bodywork and the colour matches extremely well.

Thank you for your PM Darryl.

I have watched the video and could see the under bonnet plaque of the Goodwood FOS car, '01 of 07'.

The presenter of the AMHT video, said that car is also number one, but the two cars are different colours. If he is correct, I wonder if the FOS car might be a factory development model.

This may seem all 'a bit trainspotting', but I am simply paying attention to these details, so that my models table is as accurate as possible.

Hi Jon

Yes perhaps it is a development car. Hopefully you will be able to soon get all the data and colours etc of these special cars. Chaps like you and Phil are really helpful in compiling all this info. Thank you.

What a stunning car. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the Deeadnought project too. I’m in love with the V600. I’m lucky enough to own a V12V but the V600 is next level!

A great project and great result.

Question, are the side sills the old mk1 ones, or at least the same shape ? Thinking of putting them in my V12V to create a similar look

I think you might be the first Wayne.
Wonder if this will be the start of a trend, similar to making later E-types look like a Series 1 ?

The body is much wider in the back, so I doubt they would fit on a standard car. They do look good, though.
