A mysterious Vantage Roadster prototype was spotted at Germany’s Nurburgring race track several years ago, believed to be the convertible version of the ballistic V12 Vantage that landed in the U.S. only last year. Unfortunately, nothing’s been seen or heard of the rumored Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster--that is, until now. According to a report from GT Spirit, the V12 Vantage Roadster will finally launch in 2012, which means we’re likely to see the car at March’s 2012 Geneva Motor Show--just in time for the northern summer. If true, the V12 Vantage Roadster should...

A new McLaren prototype has been spotted testing in Southern Europe, likely to be the convertible version first reported on back in 2009 and which will eventually go head-to head with the formidable Ferrari 458 Spider. On initial glance this black McLaren prototype looks like just another MP4-12C, but delve a little closer and you’ll quickly notice some peculiarities. First and foremost is the makeshift cover over the rear window and engine bay, which almost certainly is hiding the new convertible roof. McLaren is expected to adopt an automated folding hard-top just like Ferrari did...
