NOTEWORTHY CHARACTER

“The new exhaust system is derived from the One-77 supercar and is lighter than that of the outgoing V12 Vantage but still retains the classic Aston Martin exhaust note”

SMOOTH OPERATOR

“The supremely efficient drivetrain means it doesn’t need as much effort to get up to top speeds as many other cars. It never feels like the chassis is not as quick as the car”

TRUE BRIT

“The V12 Vantage S is every inch a true British sports car. It has an extreme character and is very powerful. It’s a real driver’s car with a bit of bite, though there is enough comfort and ride for everybody”

POWER PACKED

“The car has a great V12 engine with a seven-speed automated manual transmission named Sportshift IIITM (25kg lighter than the previous six-speed unit), which gives the ultimate feeling of power”
