The original V12 Vantage was Aston Martin's most audacious VH-era engineering exercise: the 510-hp 5.9-liter V12 from the DBS fitted into the company's smallest body, with a six-speed manual as the only transmission. Louvered hood vents, carbon-ceramic brakes, and lowered suspension marked it out from the V8 car. It has become one of the most sought-after modern Astons — an analog V12 manual coupe of a kind that will not be made again.
