Aston Martin Vantage GT12 Roadster Spied at the Nurburgring
Aston Martin could be preparing a limited production run for the Vantage GT12 Roadster.
In late June, Aston Martin unveiled a one-off Vantage GT12 Roadster prepared by its Q customization arm. When it first debuted, the British automaker said the Vantage GT12 Roadster took nine months to plan and build. The car also has plenty of custom carbon fiber body panels to accomodate the new roof and the suspension was also revised for the customer.
Now, spy photographers have caught another Vantage GT12 Roadster testing at the Nurburgring, making us wonder if the original will no longer be a one-off.

Since the one-off car has already been delivered to its customer, what is Aston Martin doing testing another prototype? It suggests that the company is considering a small production run of the model. The other possibility is that it’s being used as a test mule.
Under the hood of the Vantage GT12 Roadster is a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine churning 591 horsepower, but don’t be surprised if a bit more power is on the way.
