I cant say its replaced a V12 Vantage Roadster though as my aspirational car of the moment...I think I will have one of those first

And I can't imagine the owner of a V12 Vantage Roadster aspire to an AMG Vantage!

I think we should wait until it's been driven before we can make a call on that?

No idea and HQ

[HBradley]

Lightning or Skyfall Silver?

[anonymous-user]

Possibly Lightning Silver? Quite well suited to the shape I think. Would love to see an Allorro Green example, as the colour is wonderful on the DB11.

At last, a picture of one in a colour that I think really suits it.

It actually looks more Mako Blue to my dodgy eyes than silver.

Always liked the look of the new Vantage, but must admit that last pic is stunning

Agree but indeed front on will be the big test.

[cayman-black]

That does look good, at that angle.

A much more attractive colour.
My guess is that car is/was at Gaydon.

What we used to call the side stake, is a similar shape to those on the DBR1. They are positioned the opposite way round on the new Vantage.

When I saw the launch Vantage, I was horrified to look into those wing openings and see the tyre tread. Presumably road grit will fly through there and along the door. Perhaps the scratches will stop people noticing any paint bubbles. -

could it be frosted glass blue ?

Might be, although I thought FGB was a a little bluer than this ?

Either way, the colour and wheels do make it look cracking.

I know Frankie has one being hatched at the moment, but has anyone else on here pulled the trigger ?

Not sure Ry, this is Mako in similar light conditions (any excuse to post a photo )

...and amazingly, that particular example is made of clay!

I was there yesterday and admiring the deep blue (real) new Vantage on the reception floor, when Finn of AM Bristol pointed that light colour one out. Went over and I think he took some pleasure in letting me know it was clay... only after I was admiring it for a minute.

Stunning bit of craftsmanship and great to see how much they progress their styling bucks and show fakes. Interior was largely missing.

I've not looked to spec one of these online, but I did prefer this mock-up's gill design behind the front wheels. They were made of plastic but with a nice hex dot pattern for breathing. Not sure if that will be available on the customer cars?
