The word from Switzerland is that Aston Martin is preparing to assualt the senses come the Geneva Motor Show by revealing the new V12 Vantage and the DBS Roadster.

The drop-top DBS Roadster should warm the hearts, and chill the faces, of open-air motoring enthusiasts everywhere. Handsome from any angle, it is rumoured to be the love child of the DB9 Volante and the fixed-roof DBS.

The one we’re really hanging out for though is the V12 Vantage RS. For those who missed it when we covered it previously, the V12 Vantage RS will feature the same 600hp engine as seen in the DBRS9 race car.

In addition, improved aero components, acres of carbon fibre, and more dead cow than in a nuked herd, perfectly conveys what the RS is all about. Production is expected to be limited ensuring classic status (in case you needed an extra reason to want one).

We’ll continue to decypher the morse code coming out of Europe as the Geneva Motor Show draws near, so stay tuned.
