Some Interesting Aston Martin Vantage GT12 Facts

Inspired by the Vantage GT3 Race Car
The Aston Martin Vantage GT12, launched in 2015, was directly inspired by the Vantage GT3 race car, bringing race-derived technology to a road-legal package.
Limited to Just 100 Units
Only 100 units of the GT12 were produced, making it one of the rarest and most exclusive Aston Martin models ever built.
Powered by a Naturally Aspirated V12
The GT12 features a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12, producing 600 hp (592 bhp) and 625 Nm (461 lb-ft) of torque, making it the most powerful Vantage of its time.
Extensive Carbon Fiber for Weight Reduction
The GT12 uses carbon fiber extensively, including the front splitter, rear wing, hood, and doors, resulting in a 100 kg (220 lbs) weight reduction compared to the standard V12 Vantage S.
0-100 km/h in Just 3.5 Seconds
With its lightweight design and increased power, the GT12 accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 297 km/h (185 mph).
Aggressive Aerodynamics for Maximum Downforce
The GT12 features an enlarged front splitter, massive fixed rear wing, and wider fenders, significantly improving aerodynamics and track performance.
Available with a 7-Speed Automated Manual Transmission
The GT12 came with Aston Martin’s 7-speed Sportshift III automated manual gearbox, optimized for faster shifts and better track performance.
Lightweight Magnesium Exhaust System
The GT12 features a titanium and magnesium exhaust system, reducing weight while delivering a louder and more aggressive V12 soundtrack.
Originally Called the "GT3" Until Porsche Objected
The GT12 was initially named the Vantage GT3, but Porsche requested Aston Martin change the name, as "GT3" is associated with Porsche’s 911 GT3 models.
One of the Most Track-Focused Aston Martins Ever
The Vantage GT12 is one of the most extreme road-going Aston Martins, blending race car performance with limited production exclusivity, making it highly desirable among collectors.
