Aston Martin’s gorgeous V12 Vantage is finally making its grand debut in the United States after high demand from car enthusiasts. The ultimate Vantage has only been available in Europe due to the fact that the luxury automaker wasn’t sure if there would be a demand in the United States. Obviously they were wrong; who wouldn’t be interested in one of the finest engineered cars in the world that can go from 0-60 mph in an unbelievable 4.2 seconds? This is going to be the most powerful and fastest Aston Martin vehicle ever produced, with an incredible 512 horsepower and 410 lb feet of torque. The V12 Vantage is manufactured in Warwickshire, England and will compete directly in the high-end luxury performance market with cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari F-430. This car was originally built for the European market only and had to be redesigned in order to meet United States federal crash regulations. The V12 will be available as a limited edition in the US and can be ordered ahead from Aston Martin. There will also be a limited-edition model available in Carbon Black which consists of carbon fiber accents, black ten spoke alloy wheels, a black obsidian interior and a coat of black metallic paint.

What is extremely unique about the V12 is that it contains a V12 engine! It is very rare to find a vehicle with a V12 engine due to cost and the complexity. This Vantage is equipped with a 6.0 Liter V-12 with 510 HP and 420 lb feet of torque. When you combine all this power with the sleek, compact Aston Martin body you get one of the meanest and leanest driving machines ever engineered. The Vantage V12 is also known for its engine roar and thunderous exhaust noise which sounds like sweet music to the ears of its drivers.

The Vantage V12 is the true definition of what a sports car should be; it has a firm suspension, sharp lines and precise steering. This fast sports car was designed to weigh as little as possible with the implemented carbon fiber A-pillars, aluminum body panels and an aluminum suspension. The brakes are made out of ceramic and extremely powerful and precise. Carbon fiber A-pillars, all-aluminum suspension and aluminum body panels serve to keep weight down.

The Vantage V12 is equipped with leather trim throughout the cabin and the steering wheel is covered in suede. The door handles are produced out of carbon fiber and the gearstick is aluminum. Gas mileage isn’t too great for this car but we doubt that will be a concern for anyone seriously interested in purchasing this car. This car is all about superior performance, incredible power, world-class engineering and pure indulgence. Who cares about fuel economy when you can go from zero to sixty in 4.2 seconds?! This is the ultimate sports car for people who place a high premium on driving experience. The starting price for the Vantage V12 will start at around $180,000 or so. Buyers interested in the Vantage Carbon Black package will have to spend $194,995. That’s a premium price for a premium car, but some things in life are just truly priceless.
