In case you missed it, Aston Martin recently unveiled the new Vantage. This all-new twin-turbo, 503bhp V8 super coupe marks a very definitive full-stop for the current Vantage, a British stalwart that"s been in production for the last 12 years. Yes, twelve years. The new car also marks the opening of a new chapter for Aston, one that"ll see seven cars fire out of the pipeline with yearly regularity between now and 2023. They include a new Vanquish, the DBX (the five-door, all-electric crossover), a new plush Lagonda plus special ops" cars like the Valkyrie and a successor to the One-77. But this ambitious plan also delivers a black hand to the naturally-aspirated V12 Vantage. Production of Gaydon"s luxury twelve-cylinder hot rod will stop in December. Here"s why we"re going to be pouring some out for our homeboy.Words: Rowan Horncastle<br />Photography: Drew Gibson
