A V12 Engine and 512 HP For Your Driving Pleasure : Aston Martin’s V12 Vantage is on Fire
Aston Martin’s V12 is sleek, gorgeous and oh so fast. If you like speed then you will love this car, it goes from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. That is unbelievably fast! This car is finally making its grand debut in the United States after high demand from automotive lovers. The ultimate Vantage has only been available in Europe due to the fact that the luxury automaker wasn’t sure if there would be a demand for it in the States. Apparently they were wrong, who wouldn’t be interested in one of the finest crafted automobiles in the world with a V12 engine to top it all off? 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.
Like all Aston Martin vehicles, the V12 Vantage will be built in Warwickshire, England and will compete directly in the high end luxury performance market alongside powerful 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 model available in Carbon Black which will have carbon fiber accents, black ten-spoke alloy wheels, a black obsidian interior and a coat of black metallic paint.
The most distinguished aspect of this car is its incredible V12 engine! It is extremely rare to find a car with a V12 engine due to cost and the complexity. This Vantage is equipped 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 fastest driving machines possible. The Vantage V12 is very popular for its engine roar and legendary thunderous exhaust noise.
This car is the epitome of everything that a sports car should be and more; 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 and they are super powerful. Carbon fiber A-pillars, all-aluminum suspension and aluminum body panels served to keep weight down.
Leather trim accents are found throughout the luxurious cabin and the steering wheel is covered in suede. The door handles are crafted out of carbon fiber and the gearstick is aluminum. Gas mileage isn’t exactly the best for this car but we seriously 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 an incredible 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. Yes, that’s expensive but when you consider all the work and materials that go into crafting this car and the world-class performance and speed it offers… You only live once and some things are just worth it.
