This Sunday, the Kroymans dealership held a belated New Year’s party. Special guests: a Vanquish Volante in Apple Tree Green and a Yellow Tang V12 Vantage S! Together with a pre-owned DB9 Volante in Volcano Red, this formed a nice rastafari coloured threesome:
Phew, the word is out: this is the new V12 Vantage S! The V12 S in short: 573 hp, 620 Nm of torque and a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). I already had the privilege of seeing this car ten days ago, in a Private Viewing at Aston Martin’s Nürburgring Test Center. But no camera’s were permitted, neither was I allowed to disclose any details before today. But today has finally arrived, so here it is!
Aston Martin just released a second teaser video of their new car, which apparently is going to be announced tomorrow. This new teaser makes it even clearer that this is about a new V12 Vantage based car, just look at the bonnet in this frame:
On Friday last week, Aston Martin released this teaser video, just saying “Coming Soon…”. The video doesn’t show much, but we can clearly see a bonnet with V12 Vantage style carbon fibre vents, Vantage-style headlights, Vantage-style carbon fibre side strakes and the contours of a car in side-view which confirms this is something Vantage-based. Could this be the reason the V12 Vantage was discontinued a few weeks ago? We’ll know soon enough, maybe even later this week! Stay tuned. Watch the teaser video here. What do you think this is?
