In the realm of automotive obscurity, the 2012 Aston Martin Vantage emerges as a rare gem, boasting V12 power and a price tag that would make your wallet weep. Sandwiched between the DB9 and the DBS, this limited-production wonder offers 490 horsepower, setting itself apart with unique design elements like distinctive wheels and a sculpted rocker panel. Despite sharing DNA with the DB9, the Vantage exudes an air of exclusivity and coolness that can't be ignored on the used car market.
Inside the Vantage, Aston Martin's flair for the dramatic shines through with a key featuring a glass top showcasing the iconic logo. The interior is a mix of elegance and quirk, with luxurious leather upholstery contrasting with some disappointingly cheap switchgear. The Bang & Olufsen sound system, motorized speakers, and unique pen holder integrated into the center console add a touch of sophistication. Quirks like Volvo-inspired mirror controls and a leather pouch for small items demonstrate Aston Martin's attention to detail.
Under the hood lies a roaring 6L V12 engine, positioned for optimal weight distribution and performance. The Vantage's driving experience is nothing short of exhilarating, with paddle shifters featuring a luxurious leather component and a greeting message upon start-up that sets the tone for a thrilling ride. Exterior details like clear taillights and distinctive LED turn signals enhance the Vantage's timeless design, a testament to Aston Martin's enduring legacy of crafting truly beautiful and powerful machines.
