Aston Martin produced just 100 examples of the Vantage GT12, a road-legal model developed in parallel with the GT3 race car. This 2016 example carries only 373 kilometers at the time of cataloguing and features a specification assembled through Aston Martin’s Q personalization program.

The GT12 incorporates extensive carbon-fiber bodywork—including front wings, bonnet, splitter, diffuser, and rear wing—resulting in a weight reduction of roughly 100 kilograms versus the standard V12 Vantage. Power comes from the naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12 rated at 591 horsepower, paired with the Sportshift III seven-speed automated manual. The exhaust is full titanium, and the chassis uses a revised suspension setup matched to the model’s wider track, with carbon-ceramic brakes fitted as standard.

This example is finished in Ocellus Teal with Gulf Orange accents as part of the Q by Aston Martin Graphics Pack. Exterior equipment includes 19-inch forged alloy wheels in satin black, GT12 badging, clear tail lamps, and a carbon-fiber grille.

Inside, the car is trimmed in Spectral Blue leather with orange contrast stitching. Carbon fiber is used extensively throughout the cabin, including the door cards and center bridge, and a Bang & Olufsen audio system was optioned.

With its limited production, motorsport-driven engineering, and an individualized Q specification, this GT12 represents one of the more distinct configurations of the model. The low mileage further positions it for buyers focused on highly preserved, limited-build V12 Aston Martin specials.

Mercedes made big news at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show when it revealed the 300 SL Roadster as a replacement for the iconic 300 SL Coupe also known as the “Gullwing”. Additional chassis reinforcement took weight up, though further improvements such as a fully synchronized gearbox, improved engine (dropping direct injection), rear axle design assured the newer and heavier Roadster remained one of the fastest accelerating cars available in those years.
