The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is the end result when British engineers shoehorn their biggest engine -- a 6.0L V-12 making 510-hp and 420 lb-ft of torque -- into the brand's smallest model. Numbers and specs aside, the V-12-powered super car promises to be the "fastest and most agile Vantage ever," according to the automaker.
Forged 19-in. footwear wrapped in V12 Vantage designated Pirelli Corsa rubber keep the power to the pavement, while a 0.6-in. lower and stiffer ride stop it from tossing side to side in the twisties. Boldly sitting behind the lightweight wheels are massive 6-pot 15.7-in carbon ceramic brakes up front and equally impressive 14-in. four-piston binders to the rear.
This Aston is said to hit the coveted 60 mph mark in around 4.1 sec. and achieve a terminal velocity of 190 mph in sixth gear.
