V12 Vantage Centenary Edition

(2013)

Aston Martin announced that several of the current sports models, including the V12 Vantage, would be available as special Centenary editions and shown to the public one model at a time. The unveiling process began in January with the Centenary Vanquish, the Rapide S Centenary Edition following in April.

As it was announced in Spring 2013 that as the 510 bhp version of the V12 Vantage was about to be discontinued, the Centenary Edition V12 was presumed not actually to have been built. This is actually not the case. A tiny number of V12 Vantage Centenary Editions appear to have quietly left the factory during May 2013.

One example has been spotted for sale on a German Aston dealer website. The car is finished in all over Meteorite Silver, with Deep Soft Obsidian black interior and silver stitching, numbered sill plates and silver wing badges. The two-tone Skyfall Silver/Meteorite Silver paint finish is of course totally optional on the Centenary Edition and it is perfectly possible for the cars to be either all over Meteorite or Skyfall Silver instead.
