Gaydon’s offering to the light weight packed up sportscar world, the Vantage with a V12 in its hood, is up for grabs in the North American continent. Specifications and details have already hogged the limelight and are going to stay there for long as this little thing packs in a pretty powerful punch. With a mighty 6.0L V12 reworked to produce gobblesomes of torque and power tipping at 420lb-ft and 510bhp respectively, and with a tiny shell derived from the ‘regular’ vantage and put on a very selective diet, expect some neck craning forces.
The huge engine is showed into the tiny engine bay behind the front axles for a near perfect 51:49 weight distribution and to cool it off, designers took to the chisels and started making holes in the bonnet. Thus you get an extremely chiselled hood and splitters and diffusers et al around the exterior bodywork while the interior and body in all try to act like supermodels by being all the more lighter. They achieve this by being made from a lot of carbon fibre and light weight aluminium yet stay Arnie strong by utilising modern manufacturing methods. Aston has also carefully packed in an electronic nanny that caresses you in varying amounts based on how thrilled you want to feel like throwing this little baby around a track called the Dynamic Stability Control Button.
Sticker shock appears to be around $179,995 for the car with the all exclusive carbon black edition retailing for about 15 grand more. A limited run is expected, so, if you’re interested in this British Monster, then write out that check and hand it over to your manager to secure a deal right away once bookings open!
