Aston Martin has revived the Vantage V600 in the form of a customer commissioned limited run of the V12 Vantage V600s, inspired and influenced by the original V8 Vantage V600. In 1998, Aston Martin offered its customers the most extreme iteration of its Vantage sportscar, the supercharged V8 Vantage V600. Delivering 600bhp, the model was one of the most powerful sports cars of its time.
Fast forward 20 years and the luxury British carmaker’s personalisation service, Q by Aston Martin, received a customer commission for a strictly limited run of 14 new Aston Martin V12 Vantage V600s. This units are split between seven coupes and seven roadsters and dubbed the ‘Triple V’.
