A limited production run of 333 examples globally is the only way to celebrate the end of an epic era in fitting style.

The demand for the V12 Vantage since the company confirmed it was building it in December 2021 last year has seen unprecedented demand for this future icon, with all examples sold ahead of release and an oversubscribed register of interest eagerly waiting in the wings, Newspress reports.

The numbers for the most powerful Vantage ever are simply mindboggling, it has over 500kW and 750N.m, zero to 100km/h is recorded in just over 3,4 seconds and its top speed is 320km/h. The power is fed through a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and mechanical Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) mounted at the rear of the car.

The engineer has done a great job to keep the weight down by fitting the V12 Vantage with carbon fibre bumpers, bonnet and fenders. The exhaust system is shaped from lightweight 1mm stainless steel, IOL reports.
