Spy video: Aston Martin Vantage V12 RS

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:22:04 +0000

Aston Martin teased us with a V12-powered concept version of its Vantage coupe late last year, which officials claimed was built only as a styling and engineering exercise to promote the opening of a new dedicated design center, however in the months since the unveiling a number of Vantage prototypes have been spotted on German streets and on the Nurburgring. This latest spy video shows what appears to be a regular V8 Vantage, but the tell tale sign of a big rear-diffuser reveals the massive power underneath the prototype’s bonnet. The original concept car had the 6.0L V12 from the stunning DBS shoehorned into its engine bay, which combined with the Vantage’s relatively small size and weight ensure the one-off ‘RS’ model was the quickest road-going Aston ever as testified by the car’s 0-60mph time of four seconds. The production V12 Vantage is expected to feature a slightly down-tuned version of the 510hp engine in the DBS — likely to be around 450hp. The DBS and upcoming DBS Volante are to remain Aston’s flagship models until the arrival of the long-rumored ‘NPX’ supercar. Other features of the production V12 Vantage will likely include a vented bonnet, clear-lens taillights and carbon-ceramic brakes. While production of the Rapide is taking place at Magna Steyr’s facility in Austria, for now it seems as though the V12 Vantage will be produced at Gaydon alongside the regular V8 model. The first cars should hit showrooms within the next year.

2008 Aston Martin Vantage

2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage “Just look at the thing!” That’s about the only selling line this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage will ever need. If you’ve seen a V8 Vantage on the road, you know what I’m talking about. Few other cars look this sexy. Thankfully, this Aston has impressive talent lurking beneath its gorgeous face also. I hate blue cars and am not very fond of British cars, but this one is a masterpiece! I absolutely love it! This rare color combination is perfect and dosen’t get any more desireable. This Vantage is engineering art, from the seductive sound, to the performance and driving sensation. Every single inch of this Vantage is exceptional and looks brand new off the showroom floor. This is a needle in a haystack find! Everything about this Aston says quality engineering and manufactoring, sexiness, and performance. You will not be dissapointed!!! It all starts with Aston Martin’s aluminum “VH” platform that also underpins the DB9 and DBS. This intricate assembly of aluminum extrusions, steel and magnesium castings and composite body panels are all bonded together with advance adhesives for light weight and exceptional rigidity. There are other desirable attributes as well, including a rear-mounted transaxle for enhanced weight distribution (49:51, says Aston) and a dry-sump lubrication system for the car’s V8 engine. That engine is a 4.3-liter V8 producing 380 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque. This is good enough to propel the nearly 3500-pound …
