Aston Martin unveiled the Vantage RS Concept at the end of last year. At the time the automaker said the car was only a concept, but we know how that goes.

According to a recent interiew with Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez, the car is going to enter production sometime next year after a convertible version of the DBS. The Vantage RS Concept is powered by the same 6.0L V12 engine as the DBS, but with some enhancements to squeeze out a bit more power. According to Aston martin the car reaches 0-62mph in 4.0 seconds and 100mph in 8.5 seconds.

The DBS is going to start at $265,000 in the US and the Vantage RS will start even higher when it is released.
