The perfect V12 Vantage?

Remember GTSprit.com’s review of the V12 Vantage?
At the time, I already spotted and reported that the specific car they got to review was a very rare Carbon Edition and in a rare color too: Flame Orange.

Well, this very special V12 Vantage has come to the Netherlands (my home country) and is now for sale at my local Aston Martin dealer (Kroymans Hilversum).
This week I had the privilege of seeing this car in person and I have to say: this may be the most beautiful and most complete V12 Vantage I have ever seen.

Carbon Edition in Flame Orange

This V12 Vantage is a Carbon Edition, meaning it has many extra carbon fibre and blacked-out parts. On top of that, it is painted in the rare Flame Orange color.

So is this the perfect V12 Vantage?

Close, but no cigar… It would be 100% perfect if it was in Fire Red.

Now, my own V12 Vantage just happens to be Fire Red 🙂
And it already has many of the options and features that are making the above Carbon edition so near perfect. I have already retro-fitted it with the Carbon Fibre Side Strakes and the Carbon Fibre Gearshift Surround. Just a few things are missing:
