Aston Martin found it fit to take the most powerful engine they have, the 6.0-liter V12 from the DBS, and squeeze it into the smallest chassis, that of the Vantage coupe. Ever since the car was revealed in 2009, we’ve been quite taken with this splendid little gentleman's racer.
If you thought the same, but went for a Ferrari or an Audi because they sell roadsters, we have bad news for you! They are taking the top off to create their most exciting top-down experience ever. GT Spirit reports that Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez has told one of their contacts that the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster is coming next year.

If there was a challenge to create the most exciting car without focusing on hitting huge high speed, than this is what would win the day. We’d remind you that the 6.0-litre V12 engine produces 510 bhp and 570 Nm of torque. You won’t be able to race the 458 Spider, but you’ll have a better sounding engine.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
