With the gradual advancement of low-carbon emission reduction policies around the world, especially in Europe, various automakers have begun to transform in the direction of electrification, and the high-horsepower engines commonly found on sports cars in the past are becoming more and more rare. While Aston Martin is also transitioning toward electrification, they bring a V12-powered supercar – the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Recently, the official announcement that the car will be officially released on March 16, and the words "never leave quietly" in the warm-up promotional video appear, or hint that the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage will be the last model in the series equipped with an internal combustion engine.
New Aston Martin V12 Vantage
According to foreign media reports, the new V12 Vantage will be a limited edition model. The next-generation models of the Aston Martin Vantage and DB11 series may say goodbye to the high-horsepower internal combustion engine and instead transition to an electric drive model. That's probably why Aston added the message "Never leave quietly" to this trailer, as the days of selling pure internal combustion engine products are coming to an end.
According to the previously exposed spy photo of the car, it can be found that there is a U-shaped covering on the hood, which may indicate that the hood of the car may have designed vents or added some new styling elements. The car has a large air intake grille to provide sufficient air for its V12 engine, and there are vertically arranged ventilation openings on both sides of the grille, or to provide heat dissipation for the wheels. The rear of the car features a mid-mounted exhaust pipe with a diffuser on each side. The car's canard-tail spoiler has a raised section in the middle, and the trailer also features a V12 Vantage model with a tail wing.
In terms of power, the V12 Vantage uses the same engine as the V12 Speedster. It is powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine that produces a maximum power of 690 hp (515 kW) and a peak torque of 753 N·m. This is matched by an 8-speed automatic transmission. It is reported that the car or will be officially put on sale before the end of this year, limited to 299 units, the price of the car is not yet known, but considering its power level and limited positioning, the price will certainly not be cheap.
