Just a few days we brought you the first spy shots of the new baby Aston Martin, and now here it is again, at Nurburgring of course, but this time in blue and pulling out of Jaguar's test center. The Vantage V12 RS is the production version of the V12 Vantage RS Concept unveiled in December 2007.

Aston Martin registered the car as a V12. That's the 6.0-litre V12 we've already seen in use in the DB9 and DBS - but expected to be in a different state of tune for the Vantage road car.

The Vantage V12 RS will debut sometime in 2009 and will be priced around £140,000.
