Just been reading the new V8 Vantage concept story in this month's Top Gear mag again. They mention that as well as a new DB7, there's also a Vanquish Vantage on the way.

Does anyone know more about this? Scheduled release/spec etc? I'm guessing as they had a few problems with the heat dissipation under the bonnet of the current Vanquish, a modded (turbo/supercharged) version is going to give them even more headaches.

I always thought that with "only" 460bhp, the Vanquish is a little underpowered, so it'll be interesting to see what pans out.

As Mr Clarkson once said about the good 'ol Vantage....it's like a Rolls Royce with attitude.

I'd like to see a Vanquish with about 600bhp....that'd sort out that pesky AMG SL55, 575 and Murcky Lambo.

Oh, and twin turbos/superchargers/rockets....don't really mind
