Latest of the now wide range of Aston Martins is the basically V8 Vantage, but with the V-12 replacing the fine V-8. Surprisingly, despite the extra four cylinders, the new car has the same overall length and wheelbase as the smaller Vantage model.
The V12 Vantage is also pretty light, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of around 4.1 seconds, just making it into our exotic cars category. Top speed is 190 mph – both acceleration and top speed are similar the DBS, but the handling is more sporty.
With wide tracks and wheels, the new car is wider than the old one, which has enabled the use of a wider air intake and grille and air intake below, some of the air being diverted to the brakes. Wider fenders also give the car a more aggressive look.
