Aston Martin spoons – just like with the previous Vantage – a V12 in the nose of the normally V8-powered sports coupe. The V12 Vantage is not long in coming.
While large engines are being pushed further and further into the dark corner, At Aston Martin they stick to a delicious ‘old-fashioned’ recipe. The current Vantage follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and also gets a V12 in its nose. One that lets out a lovely roar. A well-known roar, besides. After all, it concerns the 5.2 V12 that we already know from the DBS Superleggera and V12 Speedster. Cars that draw 725 horsepower and 700 horsepower respectively from the block.
That promises something for the V12 Vantage. In any case, the appearance will provide less of a shock than pressing the accelerator pedal. On a new teaser photo, Aston Martin shows the nose of the V12 Vantage for the most part and that looks familiar. The V12 Vantage clearly has a slightly larger grille than the Vantage with V8. The front is reminiscent of that of the V12 Speedster. In addition, count on extra large air inlets in the hood to provide the mighty twelve-cylinder with sufficient fresh air. Aston Martin may treat us to the unveiling before Christmas.
