After less than four years on the market, Aston is said to be pulling the V12 engine back out of the Vantage.
Discounting the Cygnet (which is really a Toyota product retrimmed in Gaydon), every model in the Aston Martin range is (or can be) powered by the same 6.0-liter V12. That includes the DB9, Vanquish and Rapide - as well as the discontinued DB7, DBS, Virage and the previous Vanquish. And it includes the Vantage.

Production was initially limited to 1,000 units, but after Aston brought it to America, it lifted the production restrictions.
