The Vantage that we know and love today was first put into production in 2005, originally dropping cover at the Geneva Motor Show as a lithe two-door aimed squarely at sports car icons like the Porsche 911. In the 11 years since its introduction, the Vantage has spawned numerous iterations and variants, from comfortable tourers, to glamorous show cars, to hardcore track machines.
