2012 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster

We kinda feel bad that the North American International Auto Show is being pushed to the side by all this buzz surrounding the Geneva Motor Show. But such is the case with arguably the biggest auto event in the world; only Frankfurt can match Geneva in magnitude.

But that’s neither here nor there at this point. What’s important is that automakers are slowly revealing their company plans for Geneva, even if its still three months away. One such is Aston Martin, which, according to GTSpirit, is prepared to unveil a roadster version of the vaunted V12 Vantage at Geneva. There’s not much in the way of details, but news of the V12 Vantage Roadster’s arrival has been years in the making, as evidenced by spy shots of the car dating all the way back to a few years ago.

The wait for this car has definitely taken longer than any of us expected, but at the very least, we can finally mark down our calendars to see what kind of supercar this is shaping to look like.

Numbers have yet to be confirmed, but the word is that the V12 Vantage Roadster will carry a 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 510 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque.

We’ll keep you posted on any updates as far as Aston Martin’s plans are for this car. Just keep crossing your fingers and hope that Aston does have plans for the official unveiling this coming March.
