New and Pre-owned Aston Martin V12 Vantage for Sale

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage for sale is a pumped-up bully. Into the smaller, lighter 2-seat body of the Vantage, the company shoehorns their 6.0-liter V-12, here tuned to give 510 hp and 420lb-ft of torque. Not content to let its hot rod fly below the radar, the car is outfitted the V-12 with more scoops than a Baskin Robbins, many of which are outlined in carbon fiber. To keep the “shiny side up,” so to speak, a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add valuable stability at high speed. This grand tourer isn’t built for poseurs. A 6-speed manual is the only transmission offered, and the cabin, while a nice place to spend time, does away with many of the luxuries present in other models in the name of simplicity. Exposed carbon fiber and Alcantara replace leather hides, and the standard stereo pumps out just 160 watts. No matter; the V-12 out front makes its own thumping soundtrack.

Unveiled at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Vantage GT12 is the fastest, most powerful, road-going Aston to be produced in 2016. This special edition coupe will be produced in an exclusive production run of 100 race-inspired units. Featuring a modified version of the Vantage V12 S’ 5.9-liter V12, the GT12’s drivetrain produces 600 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque, launching it from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Although the GT12’s top speed is significantly lower than the Vantage V12 S’ 205 miles per hour, this track-day focused Aston Martin makes up for it in the corners. With extreme aerodynamics, upgraded Brembo brakes and a number of weight saving modifications, the GT12 weighs in 330 pounds lighter than the V12 S and should grip the tarmac with a vengeance. The price for this special edition comes in at $385,000, but may shift in the future as certain examples come up for resale; all of the 100 GT12s were sold to private parties prior to its unveiling.
