The Vantage's swan song will arrive in 2022.
The Aston Martin Vantage isn't long for this world, and it's going to go out with one hell of a bang. Aston Martin on Wednesday confirmed the return of the V12 Vantage, and this loud-and-proud swan song will arrive sometime next year.
Aston isn't releasing any concrete details about the new V12 Vantage , but confirms this will mark the end of the road for its two-seat sports car. "It's not just a Limited Edition, it's a Final Edition," the British carmaker said in a statement. Aston also released a short teaser video along with its brief announcement, and you'll definitely want to turn your speakers up for this one.
Oh yeah, that's one hell of a V12, and likely the same 5.2-liter engine used in the DBS .
Aston Martin rolled out a V12-powered Vanquish for the last-generation car's final act, complete with a seven-speed manual transmission -- and a dogleg gearbox, to boot. Will the new V12 Vantage have a DIY transmission? We doubt it. But hey, fingers crossed. We'll know more next year.
