  • 2012 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon Edition

    According to a report from CarBuzz, Aston Martin is saying vaya con Dios to the V12 Vantage. This seems like very sad news, as the twelve-cylinder twitch machine remains ones of the most exciting vehicles in the AM lineup in... well, forever.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that we'd be rather upset if it does wind up disappearing after just four short years. To confirm this, we reached out to PR and Brand Communication Manager...
