Now a crop of spy shots has been circling the intertubes showing another Vantage undergoing cold-weather testing.<\/p>\n<p>Sources can&#8217;t pinpoint whether this is a V8 or V12 model. Judging by the lack of louvres on the hood, installed on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/v12+vantage\">V12 Vantage<\/a> to keep the big engine breathing in such a tight space, our money&#8217;s on the slant eight. If that&#8217;s the case, the V8 Vantage could be getting the diffuser from the V12 model. The rear lip spoiler has also grown, but it&#8217;s hard to tell much more than that.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcarfans.com\/110020924469\/aston-martin-vantage-facelift-first-spy-photos\">World Car Fans<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/11\/spy-shots-aston-martin-planning-more-vantage-upgrades\/\">Spy Shots: Aston Martin planning more Vantage upgrades?<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:30:00 EST.
