Aston Martin V8 Vantage 2006

The second product of the new aluminum VH (Vertical Horizontal) platform owned Aston Martin V8 Vantage brings a whole new set of men, if not the crowd. The cost of about $ 110,000 if the sale again this year, the Vantage is a 380-hp, 4.3-liter engine V-8 engine Jaguar ubiquitous today. The engine uses a dry swamp of oil to reduce the severity and a robust 303 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. Aston Martin claims 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 175 mph. At present there is a six-speed, but Aston Martin chief Ulrich Bez said that a paddleshift sequential manual is in progress, "but not in the next twelve months." The car has seen the suspension, huge ventilated disc brakes with four piston monobloc calipers and standard dix-and eight-inch tires, with optional nineteen. We knew that the report of the former Vantage Concept Car that would be nice to see, but it is also a pleasure, with aluminum accents, the main details in leather, wood trim and optional in walnut, mahogany, bamboo, and piano black. A simple two-seater has a flow rate of return for secure access, such as DB2 / 4 in 1950. Training is Vantage Aston Martin produce about 5,000 vehicles a year, more than the Ferrari at the moment. Bez said it was a roadster production at the end of 2006.

The Launch Of The New Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Since December 2007 we have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, and it does seem to have been well worth the wait. Aston Martin showed the V12 Vantage, its most potent production sports car in the marquee's 95-year history at the Geneva motor show. Based on the hugely successful V8 Vantage, the V12 Vantage will feature a 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp, and 570 Nm of torque with a top speed of 190 mph and 0-62 mph time of 4.2 seconds.

Aston Martin engineers have positioned the engine as far back and as low as possible in the car to contribute to the 51:49 weight distribution. Containing the weight within the Aston Martin V12 Vantage's wheelbase, results in a low polar moment of inertia, creating a car which has a natural agility. Aston Martin claims that the V12 Vantage RS weighs less than 3,537 pounds compared to the 3,594 pounds of the V8 Vantage. Aston Martin says that the V12 Vantage RS concept is the fastest accelerating road car ever built by the company; with a 0-60 time of just under four seconds, the RS has as much power as Ferrari's quickest car, the 599GTB, but weighs some 880lb less.Unique to the V12 Vantage is the ability to toggle button between two powertrain modes. The default 'normal' provides a more progressive, throttle response, suited to more everyday situations. Selecting 'Sport' mode delivers a sharper throttle response together with a sportier exhaust note.Common to both road and race cars is the VH architecture platform upon which the Aston Martin V12 Vantage is based. Consisting of extruded, pressed and cast aluminium alloy, bonded together with aerospace-grade adhesive, the backbone of the car works collaboratively with the powertrain and suspension to create an exceptionally responsive driving experience.Carbon ceramic brakes are standard (398mm discs at the front, 360mm rear) and they're wrapped in 19in lightweight forged alloys and Pirelli P Zero Corsa rubber. The tyres have been designed especially for the more powerful Vantage and help it to achieve the highest cornering forces yet from an Aston, with 1.3g possible.Having established that the New Aston Martin is a hugely powerful engine which has been shoehorned into as smaller car as possible to ensure that it can accelerate and travel to its maximum capacity, our attentions turn to the looks of the vehicle. It has to be said that it is a stunner. It has been criticised for looking very similar to previous Aston Martin models, and whilst the grille, splitters, sills, bumpers and boot have all been altered it does look distinctively like an Aston Martin; and that's as it should be sleek and stylish and instantly recognisable. Aston Martin hasn't really troubled the elite sports car sector in the past but the V12 changes all that and in some style. No data has yet been released of the Carbon emissions of the V12 Vantage, however Aston Martins are not known for producing the greenest cars in the world, but the construction does compensate somewhat.Aston has always been different, always been about understatement, and indeed could have the chance to really innovate towards a more environmental long standing.Only 1000 V12 Vantages will be made, and deliveries start later this year, autumn 2009.

Aston Martin Vantage v12 - Coming to the U.S.?

Why no Aston Martin V12 Vantage for the U.S.? Don't rule it out -- yet. Our sources tell us that the main reasons the U.S. market has not yet been greenlighted for what should be the quickest car in the AM lineup are primarily due to U.S. crash regulations, which the Aston Martin V12 Vantage doesn't yet meet.The longish 5.9-liter V-12 engine is capable of a more-than-adequate 510hp, but now lives in a space originally designed only for a V-8.

That means a lot of the room up front that would normally be crumple zones has been eaten up by the big motor. There are also some issues with the pedestrian crash protection requirements. The just-launched Aston Martin V12 is currently sold only with carbon fiber-shelled seats that also don't pass muster Stateside, but that would be an easy fix. Aston only plans to build 1000 or so Aston Martin V12 Vantages (depending on demand and the world economy) and the small-volume business case did not originally support a redesign of the front end to make the car legal for U.S. roads.

As we showed you late last month, Aston Martin is also developing a Volante convertible version of the Aston Martin V12, and that is drawing its share of development dollars at the moment. However, if demand is strong enough and the business case supports it, Aston Martin officials have not closed the door on the notion of reworking the car for North American consumption. Look out, ZR1.

Driven: Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Don’t read too much into Aston Martin ’s choice of launch location. The new Aston Martin V12 Vantage may carry many developments learned at the nearby Nürburgring, but is a road car, pure and simple. And one that doesn’t half go... Welcome to the Eifel mountains. As the fleet of chauffeur-driven Lexus hybrids delivers members of the British press to the Dorint Hotel, campers at the ‘Ring are preparing for the forthcoming 24-hour race, several days away. Passions run deep round here. The presentation, from the no-less-intense Aston Martin engineering and management team, focuses on how the new car has been developed, and quite how difficult the task was to squeeze six litres of V12 into the space normally occupied by a 4.7-litre V8. One thing is made completely clear from the outset: this is a new car, a “completely different” car, and one that will appeal to both marque loyalists and converts from Audi (R8 V10), Ferrari (F430) and Porsche (911 GT2).

Aston Martin V12 GT and GTA

In 2002, a new variant was launched, named Aston Martin V12 GT or V12 GTA when equipped with an automatic transmission. It was essentially an improved version of the Vantage, Aston Martin V12 engine producing 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) and 410 ft·lbf (560 N·m) of torque. Aesthetically, compared to the Vantage it has a mesh front grille, vents in the bonnet (hood), a boot (trunk) spoiler, an aluminium gear lever, optional carbon fibre trim and new wheels.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage

In 1999, the more powerful Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. Its 6.0 litre, 48-valve, Aston Martin V12 engine produces 420 bhp (313 kW; 426 PS) and 400 ft·lbf (540 N·m) of torque. It has a compression ratio of 10.3:1. It was available with either a TREMEC T-56 six speed manual or a ZF 5HP30 five speed automatic gearbox. Aston Martin claims it has a top speed of either 186 mph (299 km/h) with the manual gearbox or 165 mph (266 km/h) with the automatic gearbox, and will accelerate from 0–60 mph(97 km/h) in 4.9 seconds. It is 4,692 mm long, 1830 mm (72 in) wide, 1243 mm (48.9 in) high, with a weight of 1.8 tonnes.
After the launch of the Vantage, sales of the supercharged straight-6 engine DB7 quickly dried up, and production was ended in mid-1999.

Aston Martin DB7

The Aston Martin DB7 is a grand tourer made by Aston Martin from September 1994 to December 2003. The grand tourer was available either as a coupé or a convertible. The prototype was complete by November 1992, and debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 1993. The six-cylinder Aston Martin DB7 was positioned as an "entry-level" model below the hand-built V8 Virage introduced a few years earlier. The Aston Martin DB7 was the highest production Aston Martin model ever, with more than 7,000 built before it was replaced by the Aston Martin DB9. The Aston Martin DB7 was styled by Ian Callum and Keith Helfet, and it is widely considered a beautiful and timeless automotive design.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage review

It is strange but true that an anagram of the word Vantage, so beloved of Aston Martin, is: "Get a van." For many of those in a hurry it is sound advice.

As most of us know, the fastest way of getting anywhere by road is by a van, painted white, powered by diesel. It will scatter all traffic ahead of it like straw to the wind, sweeping past in a blur, its driver seemingly confident that no radar system short of something very secret and very military will ever track it. While most mere mortals are still plodding homeward, its driver will be relaxed, feet up in front of the television, tugging at the ring-pull of a can of amber nectar.
But, if anything is going to stay way ahead of any known white van it is going to be the new V12 Aston Martin Vantage.
I rate it as the best of all modern Aston Martins and it could become one of the world's greatest sports cars. Hugely powerful, it makes absolutely no pretensions to having low CO2 emissions, a frugal thirst for fuel or being the bargain of the week. It is unashamedly a glorious, totally high-spirited thoroughbred – and the most accelerative road car ever produced by Aston Martin.
Its rivals, like the super-competent Audi R8 V10, the road-dominating Ferrari F430 and the quality-led Porsche 911 GT2, are each magnificent in their own right. But, the Aston Martin has the plus of a classic powertrain layout: front engine, rear-wheel drive and almost precisely equal front/rear weight balance of 51/49.
Its sibling, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage with a mere 420bhp, is also a fine car and at a glance the two look similar. But the new £135,000, Aston Martin V12 is far, far more than just a Aston Martin V8 with carbon-fibre sinews and a louvred bonnet. It has been engineered to become an almost totally different machine.
Its 6.0-litre engine is shared with the DBS and produces the same power and torque: 510bhp and 420lb ft, sufficient in raw performance terms to propel it to 62mph in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 190mph.
But, the DBS already does much the same thing, you might be thinking – and the slightly less powerful DB9 is also a 190mph car. So what's the point? The point is in the driving. The Aston MartinV12 Vantage is a total sports car: very sharp, very firmly suspended, with super-precise steering (controlled via an Alcantara-trimmed wheel), ceramic brakes as standard, superbly comfortable lightweight seats and the most wonderfully thunderous engine and exhaust sound you could possibly wish for.
Aston Martin boss Dr Ulrich Bez reckons a driver can appreciate what the Aston MartinV12 Vantage has on offer within a few metres of driving it. Such apparent hyperbole is typical of car makers, only this time it's right on the button.
Driving some sports cars is a bit of a lark. Not this one. This is not a toy for boys (or girls); it is a very serious, hugely powerful, demanding, satisfying, hard machine.
It covers the ground at a truly amazing rate, devouring distances – even on curving, swooping mountain roads – to the point where you wonder if the navigation system is hopelessly miscalculating. It isn't. You just get there very quickly.
On some hairpin bends, the mid-front engine effect becomes noticeable and there is a need to wind on a lot of lock but it's not a problem, and even adds to the great character of the car. A weight-saving programme makes the car only about 50kg heavier than the Aston Martin V8.
Accelerating away again – particularly if the car's "sport" button is pushed to give a very rapid throttle response and even more exhaust thunder – is all highly satisfying. On dry roads it feels utterly safe; wet would probably call for some circumspection.
Minuses are few: the gearlever is too far back and the shift quality of the six-speed manual gearbox is acceptable but not brilliant; the main instruments could be clearer; rear three-quarter visibility is limited. But, most importantly, the rear-view mirror seems to have a blind spot: I didn't see a single white van.
