We are currently testing V8V 4-2-1 headers, and V12/DBS/DB9 headers will be next. That would be 4/4, at the moment just have 3/4 that you are looking for.

We're aiming for February next year, but still need to secure a car for development. All the other parts are compatible with the headers and these could easily be fitted at a later date. Just fitted Exhaust/Cats/Filters to a car here in Vancouver yesterday:

I guess what I meant is AM didn't want the less expensive Vantage trouncing the DBS, which it likely would with 600 bhp.
As for traction issues, what problems have you had? I really haven't had too many issues, except perhaps taking a turn with a bit too much throttle or accelerating with cold tires. Are you talking about traction issues off the line? On the track? I've done some pretty quick driving on some twisty roads with the car in track mode without problems.
Also, do you think an extra 50-100 bhp would be unusable? I could see it requiring greater control over the throttle, especially from a start, but it seems to me like the power wouldn't be wasted.

Could be, I haven't read the press release yet. I was hoping it stood for 'lots more power + other cool stuff!'

Yeah, I believe it's a drop-top version of the coupe. AM had a convertible V12V test mule back in 2009. Looks like they've been saving this one for 2012.

That V12V test mule was a Vantage S. If you look at the pics, it didn't have vents in the hood and it had paddle shifts which wasn't going to be available with the V12V.
