The ultimate Vantage driven
Aston Martin’s V12 Vantage is the end of an era. Not just because it’s billed as ‘the final time a 5.2 litre Twin Turbo V12 will be fitted to the Vantage’, but because an unscripted plot twist means it’s also the last Aston launched under CEO Tobias Moers, who officially departed earlier this month.
It’s worth noting that while this engine is shared with both the DB11 AMR and DBS Superleggera, its outputs differ from both, which are 630bhp/516lb ft and 690bhp/555lb ft respectively. Naturally weight distribution edges forwards give the V12’s placement, even with the carbonfibre front end balancing the scales a little – it’s split 53:47 in the V12 versus 50:50 for the F1 Edition.
Performance comes in with a measured build from very low revs despite the figures saying the full 555lb ft is switched on from 1800rpm, but when you’re on the move the feeling is of instant muscle that bursts with response and is always ready to fling you further and faster down the track. The V12 is a giant leap faster than the F1 Edition, no matter that it’s significantly heavier.
Instead the V12 Vantage just piles in deep, elbows out with its wide track, and really digs in to the track surface. The freshly calibrated steering has the chunkier feel you’d expect given uprated springs, and the chassis resists dive well, even under the heavy braking that these carbon-ceramics encourage.
