Following the DBX707, Aston Martin is once again introducing the V12 Vantage, a high-performance model and the pinnacle of the Vantage family. Limited to 333 V12 Vantages, the 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbo petrol engine delivers a maximum horsepower output of 700 hp (PS) and a 20 percent increase in hp-to-weight ratio compared to the V8 model.
The V12 Vantage is powered by a 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbo petrol engine that produces 700 hp (PS) at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 753 Nm. The meter can burst from the engine speed of 1,800 rpm.
And the V12 Vantage has undergone a series of lightweight modifications from the original factory, including front/rear bumpers, hoods, front leaf sheets, side skirts and tails, all replaced by carbon fiber materials, the total weight of the vehicle is 1,795 kg, the horsepower-to-weight ratio reaches the level of 385 hp to push 1 ton weight, so that the V12 Vanatge can reach a speed of 322 km/h, from stationary acceleration to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, only slightly slower than dbS, the performance is quite outstanding.
The weight reduction menu also includes a lightweight battery and a newly developed stainless steel mid-mounted dual exhaust tailpipe, which is a 7.2 kg reduction compared to the typical configuration. In addition, the original factory is also specially tuned for exhaust sound, which sounds more ferocious and more aggressive. The front and rear brake discs were replaced with 410mm and 360mm CCB carbon fiber ceramic composite brake discs respectively, which reduced the weight of the car by as much as 23 kilograms again, and also significantly improved the braking performance.
To meet the performance-enhanced handling needs, Aston Martin fitted the V12 Vantage with a 21-inch lightweight aluminum ring with approximately 40mm arch extension. The redesigned body generates 204 kg downforce at extreme speeds, and with new active suspension and anti-roll bars, the spring stiffness at the front and rear is greatly improved.
