Aston Martin

The Aston Martin Vantage is a true sporting thoroughbred. By distilling our unique design and engineering ethos into a compact and handsome sports car, each Vantage model displays its own unmistakable and pure sporting character. Coupe or Roadster, V8 or V12, the Vantage range embodies all that is great about Aston Martin.

In 2012, this iconic range continued to evolve, with a comprehensive array of improvements to the V8 Vantage and the unveiling of the exclusive, limited edition V12 Vantage Roadster.

V8 VANTAGE
COUPÉ

Sophisticated engineering and artful design combine with exceptional performance and dynamism.

The New V8 Vantage features a raft of enhancements including an all new 4.7-litre 420bhp (426PS/313kW) entry-level engine. A choice of transmissions; a six-speed manual with an additional option of our advanced seven-speed Sportshift™ II. With an additional gear, closer ratios, lower final drive and a quicker, refined shift quality, this new gearbox – designed and manufactured specifically for Aston Martin – provides faster and more precise shifts for a pure sports car experience.  

V8 VANTAGE
ROADSTER

Also available as a rakish roadster, the New V8 Vantage features completely re-engineered dynamics.

Quicker steering, bigger brakes and wider tyres make V8 Vantage even more responsive and exciting to drive. A new steering column installation, re-valved power-steering pump and a quicker ratio of 15:1 compared to 17:1 on the previous model ensure the new V8 Vantage steers with incredible precision and exceptional agility. 

V8 VANTAGE S
COUPÉ

We took our definitive sports car and went further, we used our racing expertise to create a V8 Vantage with more power, sharper handling and an even greater response, we created the V8 Vantage S.

This is the most generously equipped and highest performing V8 car we’ve produced, the best V8 in our history. Developing 436PS at 7300rpm and 490Nm (361lb ft) of torque at 5000rpm the Vantage S’s engine is tuned perfectly to complement the Sportshift™ II close-ratio seven speed automated manual transmission. A sports exhaust system unique to the ‘S’ delivers a rousing soundtrack, totally in keeping with the sporting intensity of the driving experience. 

V8 VANTAGE S
ROADSTER

How do you make our most sporting V8 even more exhilarating? You make a convertible, the V8 Vantage S Roadster.

No reduction in performance, no loss of response, no shortcuts in engineering. This distinctive design is both elegant and uncompromising, a fluid form with characteristic attention to detail, both inside and out. The V8 Vantage S Roadster offers a level of driver involvement never seen before on a V8 car.  

V12 VANTAGE
COUPÉ

No other company could have done it. Take our most powerful engine, take our most lightweight sports car, and combine them. We created the V12 Vantage, our ultimate sports car.

Specifically engineered to fit our V12 engine, we didn’t compromise on the classic Vantage design, we added bonnet vents to increase airflow and give a more assertive look. Producing 517 PS and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque, this remarkable evolution of the Vantage has a top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 kp/h) time of 4.2 seconds.  

V12 VANTAGE
ROADSTER

There was only one thing left, take the sporting performance of the V12 Vantage and make it lighter, make a car that our customers had clamoured for, the V12 Vantage Roadster.

A strictly limited edition, the V12 Vantage Roadster represents everything that is great about Aston Martin. Our world-leading design, our advanced engineering, our industry-leading technology – we combined them all and created a car that offers so much sporting performance whilst never compromising on comfort and design. The V12 Vantage is the pinnacle of the Vantage range, the V12 Vantage Roadster is its most exhilarating form.  

VANTAGE RACING 

The Vantage story doesn’t stop on the road. Racing is in our DNA and the Vantage is now at the forefront of our motorsport activity. The Vantage first went racing in 2006, when CEO Dr Ulrich Bez took a near-standard V8 Vantage to the gruelling Nürburgring 24 hour race.  

Since then GT4 versions of the V8 Vantage have become a global force to be reckoned with, spawning one-make race series and winning their class in Dubai, Nürburgring, Silverstone and Spa 24-hour races. 2012 saw the release of the V12 Vantage GT3 which has taken 18 race wins and 30 podium finishes in its first competitive year. Based on the V12 Vantage road-car but then adapted for the track this is the latest chapter in the Vantage story, a story of purebred Aston Martin sports cars. 

THE NEW DB9

THE WORLD’S MOST TIMELESS, ELEGANT SPORTS GRAND TOURER

NEW DESIGN.
TIMELESS AS EVER

It was an incredible challenge, make a great design even better. It took an extraordinary collaborative effort to achieve. Nearly 50% of all parts and more than 70% of all body panels are new, but it is as timeless and elegant as ever.

The best DB9 yet.

THE MOST POWERFUL
DB9 EVER

Peak power of 517 PS. Effortless torque of up to 620 NM. A sprint time of just 4.6 seconds. Our new AM11 V12 engine ensures this is the most powerful DB9 ever produced. To us power isn’t everything; a CO2 reduction, saving 12g/km not only means this is the most potent DB9, it’s also the most advanced.

  • 517POWER

New components and more advanced engineering also make this the most rigid DB9. Our state-of-the-art VH architecture has been made even better. The figures speak for themselves; a 20% increase in stiffness in DB9 Coupe, a huge 30% increase in DB9 Volante, we went further, our engineers made more of less – the new DB9 is 15 kg lighter.

WORLD CLASS
DYNAMICS

WE DIDN’T STOP THERE

The best DB9 braking system we’ve made sees advanced carbon ceramic brakes fitted on every car. Giving a better response with a longer life and bringing improved performance with virtually no fade.

The New DB9 feels great whatever the speed, whatever the environment.

We didn’t settle for a standard interior. We reached new heights in material artistry. Master designers worked with expert craftsmen and produced a level of fit and finish unheard of in a Grand Tourer. Take the flowing leather welts – custom made by hand in new facilities, the control switches – made of real glass, the leather – the finest Bridge of Weir hides. The result? The most luxurious Aston Martin DB9 in history.

EVEN MORE LUXURIOUS.

THE NEW RAPIDE S

THE POWER OF LUXURY

THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL 4-DOOR
SPORTS CAR

Designing a more luxurious and more refined Rapide would have been a phenomenal achievement. Engineering a more powerful Rapide would have seen us take our industry leading technology to new heights. But we didn’t settle on one, we did something incredible, we did both.

The result is an Aston Martin with more power and more luxury. An Aston Martin with the power of luxury, Rapide S.

AN ASSERTIVE NEW LOOK

How to improve the design of the world’s most beautiful four-door sports car? Our world-leading design team created unique new styling. Two examples; a new rear deck profile enhances aerodynamics, a new full-face aluminium grille honed as a single piece by hand creates a striking front profile.

The all-new Rapide S is the most beautiful four-door Aston Martin we’ve ever made.

Agile, balanced, controlled. A near perfect 48:52 front / rear weight distribution means Rapide S is unique, a true sports car with four-doors.

We took our industry-leading VH architecture and made Rapide S even more agile than our previous model. Weighing just 1990kg we also lowered the engine by nearly 20mm. Rapide S is a four-door car with world-class dynamics. A four-door car that’s every inch a sports car.

EVERY INCH A
SPORTS CAR

THE POWER BEHIND
THE LUXURY

Rapide S introduces the all-new Rapide Gen 4 AM11 engine. The most technologically advanced, most powerful Rapide engine we’ve ever built. Incredible figures tell the story; a sprint time of only 4.9 secs, 620 Nm of torque and potent power of 558 PS – an increase of more than 17% over our previous model.

Rapide S delivers phenomenal performance, all of the time.

Driven by one but enjoyed by four. Rapide S has space for four adults to be transported in a luxurious environment with the highest levels of refinement. New exterior styling is matched by interior materials worked by hand to achieve a finish never seen before on a four-door sports car. Specifically designed materials and the largest range of colours, trims and options we’ve ever offered. Rapide S is exquisitely finished and exquisitely personal.

HE NEW VANQUISH

THE ULTIMATE GRAND TOURER

THE BEST ASTON MARTIN…
EVER

100 years of Aston Martin. 100 years of producing the most beautiful and desirable cars in the world. We knew our centenary demanded something special. Our mission was to produce the greatest Aston Martin in history, the car to lead us into our second 100 years – a new flagship. We did it. With the most advanced engineering, the most beautiful design and the finest materials, we created the best Aston Martin ever. We created Vanquish.

OUR GREATEST
ENGINE

Our greatest car had to have our greatest engine. Introducing the New AM11 Gen4 V12 – the most powerful production engine in Aston Martin history. 573 PS. 620 Nm of torque. 0-62mph in 4.1 secs. Vanquish has the greatest performance numbers ever reached in an Aston Martin, it’s not a Grand Tourer, it’s a Super Grand Tourer.

  • 620TORQUE

  • 573POWER

  • 4.1SECONDS

Clothing an engine of such immense power required a body of phenomenal rigidity and razor-sharp agility. There was only one material we could use to achieve this level of performance – aerospace engineered carbon-fibre.

We didn’t compromise. Every body-panel is constructed from the most advanced carbon available, producing a staggering strength-to-weight ratio and ensuring Vanquish is the pinnacle of a century of engineering expertise.

REVOLUTIONARY STRUCTURALENGINEERING

TECHNOLOGICALLY
ADVANCED

Technologically advanced on the outside, Vanquish is as advanced on the inside. An all-new interior includes a state-of-the-art infotainment system enabling efficient and easy control of the cabin environment. Hand-crafted capacitive glass buttons now include illumination and revolutionary ‘haptic feedback’. Vanquish takes driver and passenger usability to new heights.

This is the most luxurious interior we’ve ever produced. A unique Vanquish design combines the widest choice of materials and finishes ever created for a GT. All new ergonomic interior environment groupings and carbon fibre interior finishes. Contrasting seat accent colours and unique hour-glass stitching.

A million stitches go into every Vanquish, along with 100 years of history.

LUXURY REDEFINED. OUR FINEST INTERIOR

THE V12 ZAGATO

THE LATEST ICON FROM AN ENDURING COLLABORATION

CELEBRATING
AN ICON

An icon deserves to be celebrated. Released to mark the 50th anniversary of the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, we delivered the V12 Zagato. Imagined by our world leading design team, hand built by expert craftsmen, this is one of the most exclusive cars ever produced.

We celebrated an icon, by creating another.

A MODERN DESIGN
IN TRIBUTE TO THE PAST

Designing any Aston Martin is an incredible challenge, designing a new car in the legendary collaboration of Aston Martin and Zagato, a partnership that has created some of the greatest cars in the world, that’s a real challenge.

We took the classic design of the DB4 GT Zagato, and created a 21st century concept. Our designers went head-to-head with Zagato’s famed design team to deliver an Aston Martin Zagato fit for today. Two designs, one car – the Aston Martin V12 Zagato.

Unveiled at the 2011 Villa d’Este Concours d’Elegance, the V12 Zagato was awarded the Concorso d’Eleganza Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes. Lauded by judges, clamoured for by customers, we knew this was only the start of a journey.

But design isn’t everything, truly great cars are tested for performance…

THE ULTIMATE TEST

No other company would even consider racing a concept car, we did, twice.

We took the same car that had won at Villa d’Este and rebuilt it to compete in the gruelling Nurburgring 24hr race just two weeks later. But why enter only one concept? We entered two. They both completed the race, 24hrs averaging over 120mph, nose to tail with some of the greatest GT cars in the world. Once again iconic design had been married with race track proven engineering.

CYGNET

THE

FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION

We could have stopped there. We could have closed this chapter of the Aston Martin, Zagato relationship. Our customers wouldn’t let us. Two months after appearing at Villa d’Este the response had become overwhelming. We had to build it, the creation of a strictly limited run of V12 Zagato road-cars was announced.

The journey was complete; history had been made with the creation of a fitting tribute to the 50 years of an enduring collaboration, we had created the Aston Martin V12 Zagato.
