The Goodwood Festival of Speed will open its gates towards the end of this month, Aston Martin being one of the carmakers that announced their lineup for this event. One of the cars that the British company will bring is the Vantage GT12, a model built in a limited run.

Previously called GT3, the most powerful Vantage got renamed to GT12 due to some name resemblance with other supercar. With 100 cars built, the Aston Martin Vantage GT12 is already sold out, which means that there was a demand for a more powerful supercar from the company.
