models in terms of a body and some serious looking aero. A 40mm track increase is accommodated with wider front and rear bodywork, the majority of which is manufactured from carbonfibre and composite materials. The former is used for the front bumper and bonnet that feature an evolution of the GT12’s horseshoe cooling vent, front wings and side sills – the front grille opening is also 25 per cent larger for improved cooling than a regular Vantage.
Beneath its enlarged body is a reworked chassis featuring front spring rates that are 50 per cent stiffer, rears that are 40 per cent stiffer and 13 per cent stiffer top mounts. Front anti-roll bar stiffness has been increased by five per cent, the rear by 41 per cent, but there’s now a secondary tender spring on the rear to soften the spring rate when needed.
Carbon ceramic brakes are standard, saving 23kg of unsprung weight. They include 410mm front discs with six-piston calipers and 360mm discs and four-piston calipers on the rear. Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4S tyre is standard, measuring 275/35 at the front and 315/30 rear.
Inside, a new design of carbonfibre sports seat is available as an option, saving 7.3kg over the standard chairs. They are part of a lightweight package, which also includes lightweight 21-inch wheels, lower and upper carbon body elements, manual adjustment for the steering wheel and a carbonfibre interior trim package.
Since the original V12 Vantage Concept was shown in 2007, the smallest Aston packing the biggest punch has always had an enduring appeal, and while this last example might lack the sonorous tones of its naturally aspirated predecessors, we don’t expect it to lack any of the thrills...
So 180bhp more than my Giulia QF☘️, a 5.2 V12 twin turbo against a 2.9 V6 twin turbo and you get to 60mph .5 of a second quicker ! Gotta ask why so slow ? 🤔
Price？
Ah my godness this beauty ( but also a fat car - 1800 kg nearly the weight of two Alpine ..)
...fat
A fine car but as a Brit I just can't on the grounds of not wishing to be accused of having a Bond problem
Question is, wing or no wing? I don’t know which way I’d go if I ordered one.
Best astonmartin make more then!
They should have made a lot more, it's a beauty.
ahhh that ugly, outdated interior and infotainment...
Didn’t realise you could opt it without the rear wing, that looks incredible
There it is without that silly spoiler 😍
The V12 Vantage went from being one of the most graceful and beautiful cars to this “running shoe”. I wish I had never sold mine.
Perfect
Can it be ordered without that stupid spoiler? If Im ever in the market for an Aston Martin and I want to make it look tacky, I’ll send it to Mansory thank you very much 🤦🏾♂️
