Some Interesting Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Facts

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Price Specifications

Aston Martin’s Smallest Car with a Massive Engine – The V12 Vantage combined the compact body of the V8 Vantage with Aston Martin’s 5.9-liter V12, creating one of the most powerful and thrilling Vantages ever built.

Derived from the DB9’s V12 Engine – The V12 Vantage used a 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12, taken from the Aston Martin DB9, but tuned to 510 hp (517 PS) and 570 Nm of torque.

One of the Last Analog Supercars – With rear-wheel drive, a naturally aspirated V12, and a 6-speed manual transmission, the V12 Vantage offers a raw, old-school driving experience.

0-100 km/h in Just 4.2 Seconds – Despite being based on a grand tourer chassis, the V12 Vantage could accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).

Track-Focused V12 Vantage S – In 2013, Aston Martin introduced the V12 Vantage S, increasing power to 565 hp (573 PS) and reducing weight, making it even more extreme.

Carbon Fiber and Aerodynamic Upgrades – The V12 Vantage featured carbon fiber body elements, larger air intakes, and a vented hood, helping it cool the massive V12 engine and improve aerodynamics.

Inspired by the Aston Martin V8 Vantage RS Concept – The idea of a V12-powered Vantage started with the V8 Vantage RS Concept in 2007, which showcased the potential of a big-engine, small-body Aston Martin.

Final Edition: The V12 Vantage AMR – In 2017, Aston Martin released the V12 Vantage AMR, a limited-edition farewell model with 595 hp (603 PS) and exclusive race-inspired styling.

Extremely Limited Production – The first-gen V12 Vantage was produced in small numbers, with around 1,200 standard models and 100 V12 Vantage AMR units, making it highly collectible.

Replaced by the Second-Generation V12 Vantage in 2022 – After being discontinued in 2018, the V12 Vantage name returned in 2022, but this time with a twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12, instead of the classic naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12.
