The new Aston Martin V12 Vantage has been presented in society. A high performance version with production limited to just over 300 units. The new Aston Martin sports car is powered by a 5.2-litre V12 petrol engine that develops 700 hp.
Aston Martin has unveiled its new and long-awaited beast on wheels. The new Aston Martin V12 Vantage bursts onto the scene with the clear objective of saying goodbye to an era in style. The automotive industry is entering at a fast pace in a new era marked by sustainable mobility and more specifically by electrification. Everything indicates that the times of conventional large-displacement engines are left behind.
The new V12 Vantage is a true jewel that will offer a high level of exclusivity and, above all, scandalous performance. The Production of the new Aston Martin model is limited to 333 units. The version that crowns the Vantage range is, according to the brand itself, the maximum expression of extreme performance and emotions focused on the driver.
The keys to the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage
In relation to a conventional Aston Martin Vantage, the new V12 Vantage presents a whole series of innovations. Some modifications focused on the one hand on weight reduction, and on the other hand, on aerodynamic improvement. The vehicle is decked out with a body kit specially designed for the occasion. A kit consisting of new bumpers, hood and boot lid. All this made in carbon fiber.
The standard battery has been replaced by a lighter one while a new lightweight stainless steel exhaust system with a centrally arranged double outlet is added to this. The change in the exhaust system alone represents a reduction of approximately 7.2 kilograms. It is also worth mentioning the new suspension system with adaptive dampers and that includes new stabilizer bars and springs. Also, the steering has been recalibrated.
It is possible to choose between two designs of 21-inch alloy wheels that expose the carbon-ceramic brakes. A key component in maintaining control over this beast, it also allows for further weight reduction. By the way, the rims are wrapped in Michelin Pilot 4S tires.
If we had the opportunity to enter the cabin of the new V12 Vantage, we would quickly be enveloped by an atmosphere that exudes luxury and sportiness. There are numerous customization options for the interior. The leather or Alcantara inserts for the seats are a clear example. And speaking of the seats, we have some new seats made of carbon fiber and with manual adjustments.
The powerful engine of the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage
The most important thing lies in the guts of the new V12 Vantage. The “heart” of the new Aston Martin model is a 5.2 liter V12 petrol engine which develops a power of 700 hp and 753 Nm of maximum torque.
The engine is associated with a eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. It features a rear-wheel drive setup with a mechanical limited-slip differential. This mechanics allows the British sports car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 320 km/h.
Release date and price of the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage
When will it hit the market? The first thing to keep in mind is that the order book is already closed even though the vehicle has not yet reached the market. Aston Martin underlines the great demand that its new model has generated. Production of the V12 Vantage will start imminently. The first deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter of 2022.
At the moment its price is unknown. Now, taking into account that each of the 333 units that will be manufactured already have an owner, it is something that we can downplay a lot of importance. It is a model that has been fodder for wealthy collectors and followers of the British firm.
