I'm not totally sure but I think you could have two V12 Vantages for the price of one of them.

Think I would just take the one and pocket the change.
Yes, but not in the US, where the V12V is not available (nor the N24 for that matter).

Fair point, I did not know that.

Maybe Aston are missing a trick then, or its down to Regs that they don't sell them there. Which is where an after market conversion comes in again.

Seems a lot of cash for a 'bodykit'. Sure someone could knock this up in GRP for about a twentieth of the cost. Plus a bit of filler here and here of course.....

"not inconsequential" that has to be the understatement of the decade. Just shows you how good these cars look standard, although to my eyes the Vantage is a bit too short in the rear three quarters compared to a DB9. The Vantage V12 is just beyond the sum of its parts for me though, it will no doubt be in more demand than even the One-77. If I didnt have to eat, live somewhere, pay for a voracious 15 yr old boy, one ex wife, an engagement party and another marriage then I`d think about one. Until that day.....................

194K for a bodykit, wheels, ECU map, headers and cats? Oh and a interior. *boggle*

Astons are beautifully understated in a very British way. That isn’t. At all. vomit

NO ONE will by this JUNK.

When you can have an new Vantage and plenty of change for that Halfords Bodykit.

Vhrist you can SC the thing (and leave the beautiful looks alone for under £20k) - i.e. make it goes as well as it has always looked!

tbh if aston had made this version you would all be saying how amazing it looks. But because a tuning house has made it you propose it to be ugly.
However i think its gorgeous and has a very mean stance, the price tag is a bit high though.

Hello? Aston Martin Works Service? Would you mind running the Vantange GT2/4 (delete as per budget...) through an SVA? There's a good chap.

Americana chintz. Completely misses the point of what an Aston is all about.
