Bewinged flagship version of the Aston Vantage previews its epic soundtrack
Aston Martin has released a new teaser of the 2022 Aston Martin V12 Vantage ahead of its debut early next year – and this time it features its epic soundtrack.
Released on Instagram with the caption “do not go gentle into that good night” – the title of a famous poem by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas – as well as the hashtag ‘neverleavequietly’, the sound of the V12 revving is music to any enthusiast’s ears.
The latest preview reveals the limited-run V12-powered coupe will come with a huge motorsport-inspired rear wing, suggesting it might have been created for life on the track.
Set to have the car-maker’s twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 shoehorned under the bonnet, the V12 Vantage pumps out 515kW/753Nm – around 16kW/147Nm less than the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.
Despite being down on power, the V12 Vantage’s smaller dimensions and lower weight should ensure it becomes the quickest ever Aston made this side of the Valkyrie hypercar.
We expect it to pip, or at least match, the V12 Speedster’s 0-100km/h sprint of 3.5 seconds and top out at around 300km/h.
As previously reported by carsales, the next-generation Aston Martin Vantage, as well as the bigger DB11, have already been confirmed to be going fully-electric when they land in 2025, meaning the new V12 Vantage is a glorious farewell to the car-maker’s V12 that was developed in-house.
