Aston Martin has built the V12 since 2004. Autoknowtive’s catalog has 9 of them, from the 2007 Aston Martin V12 Vantage to the 2023 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster. Body styles here: Coupé and Convertible. Sold new in North America, Europe and Asia.
Power went from 517 hp in the 2010 V12 Vantage to 690 hp in the 2023 V12 Vantage Roadster. It got heavier along the way: 1,680 kg for the 2010 car, 1,745 kg for the 2015. The most powerful here is the 2023 Aston Martin V12 Vantage at 690 hp (515 kW), more than 96% of the cars in the catalog. Quickest from 0 to 62 mph: the 2021 Aston Martin V12, in 3.5 s.
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS concept is based on critically acclaimed Aston Martin V8 Vantage coupe, but the company's design and engineering team have fully exploited the design flexibility of their unique VH architecture and the motor sport development of their 6.0 litre V12 engine to create a dramatic and production feasible concept car focussed on extreme performance and dynamics.
