The Aston Martin Vantage of 1972 to 1973 was a distinct model in the maker's range, not a tuned version of another car: a straight-six powered version of the DBS, which had been launched with that engine but by then was being sold with a V8 as the DBS V8. Despite the Vantage name it was the least powerful and least expensive Aston Martin of its time, serving as the entry-level model. It is recognised by a unique two-headlamp front end with a DB6-like grille, and it was the last Aston Martin fitted with wire wheels. Only 71 were built, and it remained the last straight-six Aston Martin until the DB7 of 1993.
