Aston Martin Vantage: Engine - V8, F1, or V12

Whether you decide on the V8, F1 edition, or V12 edition, the Vantage promises supreme performance and absolutely delivers. With a light-weight aluminum frame and a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the Vantage is designed not just for speed but for control as well. Aston has created revolutionary technology to enhance the cornering, maneuverability, and high-speed stability of the Vantage. An electronic rear differential works with its dynamic torque vectoring to elevate your driving experience to new heights.

Vantage V8 Engine

At the heart of the Vantage V8 lies a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, a true masterpiece of engineering. This dynamic engine propels the car from 0-62 mph in a mere 3.6 seconds, effortlessly reaching 195 mph at its peak. The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission strikes the perfect balance between performance and refinement. Utilizing adaptive software, the Vantage ensures that the car is always in the right gear at the right time, considering the operating conditions and the demands of the driver. This all adds up to 503 horsepower and 505 ft-lbs of torque.

Vantage F1 Engine

Aston took the invaluable data learned from the development of their official F1 safety car and molded a unique chassis with added aerodynamics for the Vantage F1. The front splitter, diffuser, and rear wing work in perfect harmony to generate a staggering 200kg of front and rear downforce at top speed, ensuring unrivaled stability and control. Along with the enhanced control, the F1 increases its horsepower to 527.

Aston Martin V12 Engine

A masterpiece of engineering, the V12 Vantage boasts a magnificent all-alloy quad overhead cam, 48 valve, 5.2L bi-turbo V12 engine. The 690 horsepower and 555 ft-lb of torque is the most powerful engine Aston has ever created for the Vantage. A widened track and stiffened suspension with new adaptive damping and bracing ensure unparalleled control and agility. Manipulations of airflow are a key element of the V12's advanced performance. The front splitter and extended sills guide the air under the body, and the V12 has altered the airflow to optimize cooling for the engine, transmission, and brakes. A reshaped diffuser and rear wing generate an astounding 204kg of downforce at 200 mph. The lighter weight of the Avantage V12 and enhanced aerodynamics increase efficiency and leave the driver feeling in complete control. This perfect machine propels you from 0-62 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds. With a top speed of 200 mph, it is a true marvel of engineering.

The extensive use of carbon fiber finishes, an assertive rear wing and twinned central exhausts, and a powerful rear diffuser add a ruggedness not seen in the V8. The grill of the V12 has increased by 25 percent compared to the V8. A muscular new design for the front bumper and a full-width front splitter announce the V12's arrival with force. With side vents seamlessly merged into widened sills, the enhanced design perfectly complements the specially curated 21-inch forged alloy wheels.
