Aston Martin V12 Vantage available at Performance Driving Course

Irvine, May 9th 2011. Aston Martin today announced the availability of the V12 Vantage at the

brand’s USA performance driving course. The V12 Vantage joins Aston Martin’s award winning

line up of sports cars, which includes the DBS, the Rapide and the V8 Vantage, on hand for

participants to drive on the exhilarating and dynamic tracks of the Michigan Proving Ground

during the one day instruction based course.

The Aston Martin Performance Driving Course gives prospective and new customers an

opportunity to experience the dynamic capabilities of an Aston Martin in a safe yet exhilarating high speed environment. Since the course launched five years ago, hundreds of participants have attended the driving school in Michigan for a full day of one to one instruction on miles of track, which includes an alpine circuit, a high-speed oval and a mile straight runway.

The V12 Vantage is Aston Martin’s most potent production sports car ever, benefitting from race

derived technology and a powerful V12 Aston Martin engine producing the fastest and most

agile sports car in the brand’s line up. The V12 Vantage retails from $184,000 and with the

recent announcement of a manufacturer approved lease program, the car is even more

accessible to drivers looking for a unique combination of exclusivity and focused sports car

performance.

Julian Jenkins “We are very much looking forward to offering customers and sports car

enthusiasts the opportunity to drive the V12 Vantage, alongside our other award winning

models. The V12 Vantage is a thoroughbred sports car and the miles of track covered at the

course will give participants the opportunity to experience its capabilities during a thrilling day of performance driving.”

The Aston Martin Performance Driving Course is open to all drivers over 18 years of age and

holding a full license. The cost is $2,500 for the full day. For further details and bookings, please email pdcusa@astonmartin.com or visit www.astonmartindrivingexperiences.com
