Why it matters
The Vantage GT12 was a track-focused limited edition derived from Aston Martin's GT3 racing Vantage and billed as the most performance-focused road-going Vantage. It used a re-engineered 5.9-litre V12 and carried about 100 kg less weight than the V12 Vantage S.

02Production & history

Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory package productionbuilt | 1001 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The GT12 was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015 as a commemorative edition celebrating the Vantage's racing success, including the class win at Le Mans in 2014. It was designed and engineered at Gaydon, with a wider track, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, carbon-fibre front wings and bonnet, a lithium-ion battery, magnesium inlet manifolds and torque tube, and a titanium exhaust.
Production was announced as 100 cars, although one Bonhams lot calls its car number 71 of 101 built. Q by Aston Martin offered personalisation such as graphics packs and special colours.
