The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is official. After teasing us with the Vantage V12 concept car previous year, the company has now released the full details of the production version which will make its debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
The Vantage V12 features a massive 6.0 Litre V12 engine under the hood with a mamoth 510 bhp and 570 nm of torque. The car is expected to sprint from 0-100 kph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of nearly 305 km/hr.
These number are eminently believable given that the V8 Vantage with 4.7 Litre engine does the 0-100 kph sprint in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 288 km/hr.
The Vantage V12 look like the smaller V8 cousin but not without some subtle very important changes. The front bumper is new with bigger air intakes to feed the V12 powerplant and a lower front spoiler to keep the car glued on the road, the side skirts are more aerodynamic. The car also comes with new design alloy wheels and a ventilated hood. At the back changes are limited to a slightly larger rear spoiler, a rear diffuser, a new dual exhaust system with larger tips and clear tail lights.
Interior changes are minor with piano gloss black trim on the center console, alcantara covered steering wheel and sports seats.
The car will officially debut at the Geneva Motor show and the deliveries of the new V12 Vantage will start from the third quarter of this year. Aston Martin has also announced to limit the production run to just 1,000 units.
