Aston Martin unveils new V12 Vantage Roadster

Aston Martin has revealed its new V12 Vantage Roadster – the most powerful Vantage ever.

The BIG news with this car is the engine. It’s the first Vantage ever to feature a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, meaning this Roadster is serious when it comes to performance.

We’re talking 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of an eye-watering 200mph, and with 753Nm of torque, it’s (unsurprisingly) the most powerful Vantage Roadster of all time.

Driving this machine promises to be epic, with rear-wheel drive, incredible balance, minute tuning and maximum steering response.

Aerodynamics are the focal point of the open-top supercar, with a new sculpted rear bumper and single-piece sills.

The V12 Roadster’s has a baller rear wing as standard, which isn’t the case with the V12 Vantage, and it keeps the airflow balanced for idealised aerodynamics.

While the drive is one of the most intriguing things about this car, it would be rude to overlook the beauty staring us in the face.

The Vantage range is distinctive, but this V12 is that bit more dramatic than its sister cars. It’s 1.6 inches wider, for a start, which means a bigger front bumper and 25% larger grille. The bonnet is redesigned with a giant air vent that looks futuristic and aggressive. Add the 21-inch standard alloys in satin black, and the V12 Vantage is full beast mode.

Inside, it’s pretty much the Vantage V8, but it’s also customisable. Of course, expect luscious leather seats and trims, glistening rotary dials (colour-matched to the exterior as you wish) and six-way sports seats, to name a few indulgences. 

Now, I've got good news and the bad news for anyone wondering how they get bag one of these.

The bad news is that the V12 Vantage is a strictly limited production car, with only 249 customers around the globe getting their hands on this car. Production is due to commence in Q3 of 2022 and the 249 cars will roll off the production line in Q4 2022.

The good news is that we have an Aston Martin DB11 here on cinch if you’ve caught the British Heritage racing bug and want to indulge.It's £91,600 or the equivalent monthly rate on our online showroom, and you get a V8 powerhouse that'll knock your socks off!
