The V12 Vantage was confirmed for the United States market. The then CEO, Dr. Ulrich Bez personally confirmed that USA homologation is underway. This was in response to the decision of expanding the production run beyond 1,000 units. According to the automaker, some subtle changes were necessary to the structure of the car in order for it to meet North and South American regulations. In addition to these enhancements, the company also announced that it would be adding a new Carbon Black version of the V12 Vantage exclusively for the American market.
