Aston Martin - V12 Vantage S - Sales Brochure - 2007 - 2007

V12 VANTAGE S PURE PERFORMANCE Many thought the marriage of our iconic 6.0-litre V12 engine and compact, focussed Vantage sports car was too ambitious, too audacious. However, we knew that something truly special could be created. V12 Vantage S is the emphatic proof. Thrilling, potent and crackling with attitude, it is the very essence of Vantage concentrated and enhanced to deliver pure driving excitement. SCORCHING PERFORMANCE Created to defy convention and break free from constraints, V12 Vantage S is an explosive combination of monumental 6.0-litre V12 power and the compact agility of our iconic sports car. This enthralling cocktail delivers breathtaking 205 3.7 MPH TOP SPEED* SECONDS 0 - 60 MPH* * Figures quoted refer to Coupe performance performance and a scintillating, immersive driving experience. V12 Vantage S is capable of 205 mph and 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds but even these numbers can’t convey the sheer excitement of our ultimate sports car. WIND FIRE V12 Vantage S awakens every nerve ending, stimulates the senses and has a raw energy that grips at a visceral level. The Roadster brings the driver closer still to the elements, but every V12 Vantage S possesses a fiery, elemental power all of its own and places it under your control. DOUBLE TROUBLE Supreme performance was a given when we installed our 6.0-litre V12 engine into the Vantage chassis, but melding that power with deft control has created an athleticism that transcends accepted logic. Powerful yet controlled, effortless yet intensely thrilling, V12 Vantage S is uniquely compelling. Available in Coupe form, or as a Roadster for those seeking even more visceral thrills, V12 Vantage S is that rarest of things: A car pulsating with charisma and confidence. A drivers’ car without equal. A FORCE OF NATURE Performance of an epic scale is provided by our most powerful 6.0-litre V12 with a searing 565 bhp and muscular 620 Nm. The numbers are impressive but they fail to convey the rich, endless power delivery that grants extraordinary flexibility. Combining explosive acceleration and an accurate, accessible progression, V12 Vantage S exudes incredible power without a trace of intimidation. The V12 engine’s richly complex voice is ever-present and builds to a distinctive howl that is pure drama. It is the perfect storm. 6.0 V12 LITRE ENGINE 7 SPEED SPORTSHIFT III TRANSMISSION ULTIMATE INVOLVEMENT Harnessing the potential of V12 Vantage S is the seven-speed Sportshift III automated manual transmission. Its precise, engaging gearshifts enhance the sense of endless, accessible power and underscore the outstanding agility with an authentic flavour of motorsport. For ultimate response, Sport mode offers an engineered, instantaneous aggression that seems connected directly to your senses. Intuitive and breathless, Sportshift III puts the driver in control. HYPER VENTILATION Nothing else stimulates the senses like a V12 Vantage S. When enlivened with the swirling sounds, heat and aromas of the open air, the experience only grows in intensity. Hard-wired into the superb response of the chassis and ferocious performance while soaking up the all-enveloping noise as the world slips by, V12 Vantage S Roadster is a sensory overload that knows no limits. 3 FEEL THE ROAD Key to the V12 Vantage S’ dynamic blend of mighty force and intuitive control is a stunning purity of feedback relayed to the driver. The intricately detailed picture is rendered by accurate, bristling steering feel and the precision created by the Vantage’s super-stiff aluminium chassis. A three-stage Adaptive Damping System (ADS) with Normal, Sport and Track modes creates a broad bandwidth of performance, uprated Carbon Ceramic Matrix disc brakes have feel and power to spare and the Sport button optimises the car’s responses for on-limit driving. Confidence-inspiring DSC stability control and ABS, honed for expert but never intrusive intervention, complete a uniquely exciting and rewarding dynamic palette. This technology is crucial yet almost invisible from behind the steering wheel, the driving experience defined by an organic, instinctive quality that places you at the epicentre of the action. STAGE ADAPTIVE DAMPING DRAMATIC DETAILING Unswerving focus on driving thrills does not preclude indulgent luxury and class-leading craftsmanship – qualities which are synonymous with Aston Martin. The interior is artfully designed and precisely executed with the finest materials. There are two designs of seat – Sport and the highly supportive Lightweight* design that saves 17 kg and locates the driver with racecar precision – a choice of Luxmill leather or Alcantara®** and a dramatic range of colour combinations to accentuate V12 Vantage S’ forceful character. Daring and bespoke, the driving environment reflects the innate dynamism of V12 Vantage S. * Lightweight seats are not available in all markets ** Alcantara® not available on V12 Vantage S Roadster FORM AND FUNCTION AS ONE Sculpted by function, devoid of embellishment or decoration, V12 Vantage S is a masterpiece of restrained aggression and aerodynamic balance. The carbon fibre front grille increases airflow to the engine and aids stability, the bonnet is slashed by cooling vents in the same lightweight material and the integrated boot spoiler enhances aerodynamic performance. Forged alloy wheels reduce unsprung mass, which in turn optimises agility. Every detail is honed with performance in mind. CHALLENGE EVERYTHING V12 Vantage S commands respect and delivers unmatched satisfaction in return. It empowers the driver with a cohesive combination of performance, grip, agility and adjustability. The result is a car of startling capabilities that demands finesse to truly master, a car that engages its driver and will excite and fulfil for many years to come. Intense, visceral and overflowing with character, V12 Vantage S is the ultimate thrill-seeker’s Aston Martin. OPTIONS Infuse V12 Vantage S with your own personality through our extensive range of optional equipment. 1 Exterior Carbon Pack comprising mirror caps, side strakes and rear lamp infills (side strake illustrated) 2 3 Black side window trim surround 6 Silver headlamp bezels 8 Carbon fibre paddle shifts 4 Black rear tailgate graphic 7 Personalised sill plaques 9 Black pedal pads and footrest 5 Black textured tailpipe finisher 1 Lightweight* seats with six-way electrical adjustment 2 19” 10-spoke forged alloy wheels 19” lightweight forged alloy wheels Coloured Brake Calipers 3 Graphite painted wheels with diamond-turned finish (standard) 6 8 Grey 9 Red *Lightweight seats are not available in all markets 4 Liquid Silver painted wheels 1000W Bang & Olufsen audio system 5 Gloss Black painted wheels with diamond-turned finish Silver painted wheels 7 Satin Black painted wheels 10 Yellow Carbon fibre front grille 1 3 2 4 6 8 1 3 9 2 4 6 8 9 10 5 7 2 5 7 ACCESSORIES V12 Vantage S is a true individual and its thrilling personality can be extended with our range of exquisite accessories.
