The Last of the breed. There will never be another.
Some cars are important because they are fast
Others because they are rare
A select few because they represent the end of something
This V12 Vantage Roadster Final Edition is all three.
By 2023, Aston Martin knew the world was changing. Evolving emissions regulations, and growing electrification meant the compact, front-engined V12 sports car was living on borrowed time.
Rather than quietly retire the model, Gaydon elected to give it the send-off it deserved.
The result was the V12 Vantage Final Edition Roadster. Just 249 cars were announced for worldwide production.
The fastest and most powerful Vantage ever, its hand-built twin-turbocharged V12 Developing 700 horsepower and 753Nm of torque sprints to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
Fast and fierce in equal measure, power is fed through a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission with its own unique Final Edition calibration and mechanical limited-slip diff, a monster 40mm widened track, carbon fibre bodywork, carbon ceramic brakes and aerodynamics capable of generating over 200kg of downforce, plus additional front and rear sheer panels, rear suspension tower strut brace and fuel tank bracing as well.
All 249 examples sold well ahead of release and an oversubscribed register of interest was eagerly waiting in the wings too. It represented an incredibly rare final opportunity to experience an Aston Martin sports car in this form.
Available only to a select group of Aston Martin's most valued clients, the Final Edition Roadster was never publicly offered and remains one of the marque's most exclusive modern productions.
Delivered new by Aston Martin Sydney, offered here is car number 171, travelled just 2,723 kilometres and remains in exceptional, virtually as-new condition.
Finished in Cumberland Grey, one of Aston Martin's most elegant contemporary colours and famously associated with a number of the marque's most celebrated Q commissions and press cars, it is paired with a beautifully specified Full Semi-Aniline Duotone Havana and Onyx Black interior with Ice Mocha contrasted stitching and seatbelts.
