Aston Martin V12 Vantage Photos

I have managed to find several good photographs of the upcoming AM V12 Vantage being tested by Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of the company. Courtesy of Auto Motor und Sport. Enjoy.

finally, this is what fans have been waiting for. lots of power mods for the v8 vantage, but i think the v12 will do the trick.

Thumbs up

I don't know why, but I'm honestly crying tears of joy right now. I'm just so damn happy.

The car is amazing, save for the stupid wheels. The hood could drop a few vents too. And I think quads would visually widen the rear.

Basically this is what the DBS should've been.

I have a hard time with this wheel design because they are ugly, and this is an Aston Martin, the two don't go well together.

I wonder if it gets a new motor too. The last one's 6.0L V12 was essentially two Ford 3.0L V6's mounted together. Not for anything, but with a price tag of a nice house, I'd expext my British exotic not to have a Ford motor.

BTW, I highly doubt those rims will make it into production.

Agreed. I feel like some subtle hood bulging along with some sculpting and maybe two wide-set hood scoops would've looked much better.
