Reports are coming in that Aston Martin has notified all its dealers that no more orders for the Vantage V12 Coupe are being accepted.

The official notice was sent to dealers over two weeks ago on April 19, 2013. Originally introduced in 2009, the Vantage V12 was originally planned to be a model limited to just 1,000 units. But once it made its way to America, the 1,000-unit limit was lifted.

Over the last four years, nearly 1,200 Vantage V12 coupes have been built and sold. It’s unknown whether the British automaker has something else up its sleeve, or if this is just a sign of the times. Sadly, there may not be room left in this fuel-conscious world for high-performance V12s.
