2016 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is a British exotic 2-seat sports car available in coupe. It is based on the V8 Vantage, but modified to handle the V12 engine. V12 Vantage S versions come with a 6.0L V12 engine that makes 565 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed single-clutch system that can be shifted via steering wheel paddles or, new for this year, a 7-speed manual transmission. Equipment on all Vantage models includes automatic climate control, full power accessories, a trip computer, reverse parking sensors, power seats with lumbar support, variable intermittent wipers and headlight washers. V12 models can be spotted mostly through their additional hood venting; there are few other changes on the outside. It rides on Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, and stopping power is provided by Brembo four-wheel disc brakes. Standout options include front parking sensors, cruise control, satellite radio and a 13-speaker, 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system, with Alcantara trim, polished alloy treadplates, an umbrella with built-in holder and all sorts of custom color combinations for the carpet, upholstery and headliner. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S adds a manual transmission for 2016 but otherwise carries over with minimal changes.
