Aston Martin V12 Vantage Revealed With 690 HP And 200 MPH Top Speed

After the DBX 707, Aston Martin is unleashing another high-powered machine by introducing the very last V12 Vantage. We've been spying on the range-topping version for nearly a year and now the wraps are finally coming off. You're looking at the most powerful Vantage to ever be fitted with a combustion engine, a twin-turbo 5.2-liter improving the car's power-to-weight ratio by more than 20 percent compared to the V8 model.

Producing 690 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 753 Newton-meters (555 pound-feet) of torque from 1,800 rpm, the V12 Vantage has the juicy numbers for the model's last hurrah. With 385 hp per one metric ton, the supercar tips the scales at 1,795 kilograms (3,957 pounds) after a series of weight-saving measures. Chief of which is the generous use of carbon fiber, including the front bumper, hood, front fenders, and even the side sills. At the back, the deck lid and bumper are also made from carbon fiber.
