To consolidate the DB6 with the DBS, Aston Martin upgraded both models to use similar parts. This included wider wheels which necessitated the use of small wheel arches on the DB6. 

Aston Martin continued to offer both the Vantage high-performance model and the Volante on the Mark 2. The rarest of these was the Vantage Volante with 15 cars being produced.
