The ultimate Vantage car, the V12. has only been available in Europe because that the luxury automaker wasn't sure if there was a huge demand for it in the United States. Obviously they were wrong, who wouldn't be interested in one of the best engineered sports automobiles in the world that can go from 0-60 mph in an unbelievable 4.2 seconds? This is going to be the most powerful and fastest Aston Martin vehicle ever produced, with an astounding 512 horsepower and 410 lb feet of torque.
The V12 Vantage is manufactured in Warwickshire, England and will compete directly in the high-end luxury performance market with cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari F-430. This car was originally built for the European market only and had to be redesigned in order to meet United States federal crash regulations. The V12 will be available as a limited edition in the US and can be ordered in advance from Aston Martin. There will also be a limited edition trim available in Carbon Black which will include carbon fiber accents, black ten-spoke alloy wheels, a black obsidian interior and a coat of black metallic paint.
The most striking thing about this car is that it has a V12 engine! It is very difficult to find a car with a V12 engine due to cost and the complexity of such an engine. This Vantage is powered with a 6.0 Liter V-12 with 510 HP and 420 lb feet of torque. When you combine all this power with the sleek, compact Aston Martin body you get one of the meanest and leanest driving machines ever produced. The Vantage V12 is also known for its engine roar and thunderous exhaust noise which sounds wonderful to true car lovers.
The Vantage V12 is the true definition of what a sports car should be; it has a firm suspension, sharp lines and precise steering. This sporty car was designed to weigh as little as possible with the implemented carbon fiber A-pillars, aluminum body panels and an aluminum suspension. The brakes are crafted out of ceramic brakes and are some of the most powerful ones available. Carbon fiber A-pillars, all-aluminum suspension and aluminum body panels served to keep weight as light as possible.
The steering wheel is covered in suede, and there are leather trim accents throughout the cabin. The door handles are made out of carbon fiber and the gearstick is aluminum. Gas mileage isn't too great for this car but we doubt that will be a concern for anyone seriously interested in purchasing this car. This car is all about superior performance, incredible power, world-class engineering and extravagance. Who cares about fuel economy when you can go from zero to sixty in 4.2 seconds?! This is the ultimate sports car for people who place a high premium on driving experience. The starting price for the Vantage V12 will start at around $180,000 or so. Buyers interested in the Vantage Carbon Black package will have to shell out $194,995. That's a premium price for a premium car, but some things in life are worth it.
