Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS

At the official opening of Aston Martin's first ever dedicated design center in Gaydon, Warwickshire, on Tuesday 11 December, Dr Ulrich Bez, Chief Executive Officer, thrilled an audience of more than seven hundred VIP guests with a surprise unveiling of a stunning new 600bhp performance concept car; the V12 Vantage RS.

The V12 Vantage RS concept is based on Aston Martin’s critically acclaimed 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.

Wow. What more can you say. The V8 got a facelift and a nice new 6.0l V12 under the hood.

With a 0-60 of 4 seconds, the new V12 Vantage RS is the fastest accelerating car in Aston Martin's history.

Top speed is unknown as it is purely a concept at the moment but I would expect it to be 200mph+ due to the inclusion of the automatic spoiler to create more down force and the carbon ceramics brakes, although that may be purely for weight reduction.
