V12 Vantage S (2013 - 2018)
Aston Martin pushed sports car performance yet again with the announcement of the new V12 Vantage S. V12 Vantage S replaced the outgoing V12 Vantage in markets around the world and, with the exception of One-77, arrived as the fastest road-going Aston Martin offered at the time.
Pure Performance
The AM28 engine in V12 Vantage S increasesd peak power to 563bhp, but alongside this is instantly accessible torque throughout the rev range. Even at 1000rpm there is an additional 70Nm of torque compared to V12 Vantage. Increased acceleration throughout the gears means a consistent performance graph.
Two Years of Testing
V12 Vantage S was honed on the track. Developed and tested from Aston Martin's Nürburgring test centre, a near-production version of the car also completed the grueling 24hrs of Nürburgring race in both 2013 and 2014 – passing the ultimate competitive engineering test.
