The new Aston Martin
V12 Vantage is now available to order in the United States starting from $179,995
for the normal models, and $194,995 for the ones with Carbon Black package,
which includes special black paintjob and wheels as well as carbon fiber
interior accents. That’s before tax of course, so realistically when you are
done with the options a base model can cost over 200 grand.The
V12 Vantage is a tarted and stiffened up version of the gorgeous V8 Vantage
which has been fitted with 6.0 liter V12 engine of the DBS. This powerplant
develops 510 hp and 420 lb/ft of torque, which
means the car does 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 190 mph.
It gives the Vantage the extra umpf it always needed.
The new Aston Martin V12 Vantage was covered
earlier this week gives us our first glimpse of the most powerful Aston Martin
yet. Powered by a 6.0 L V12 engine producing 510 hp (380 kW / 517 hp) and 570
Nm (420 lb.-ft.) of torque, the V12 Vantage is capped at 190 km / h
That’s all good, but you should beware that
this changes has turned the Vantage from a GT into a hard and sharp sportscar,
more suited for tack days. So I’d rather save a couple of thousands and get a
V8 Vantage Roadster. Oh, and that V8 sounds much cooler than the V12
