Fitted with the same 6-liter V-12 engine that powers Aston Martin’s larger, more expensive cars, the
2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage (
www.astonmartin.com) produces 510 bhp and 420 ft lbs of torque while handling with more agility and precision than any Aston Martin before it. The $180,000 car moves from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 190 mph. Aston Martin is offering the V12 only with a 6-speed manual transmission; deliveries will begin in the fall.
