Aston Martin 2012 V12 Vantage Interior
V12 Vantage might be considered Aston Martin’s tackle the classic Detroit muscle automotive formula. The automotive was created when Aston Martin stuffed its largest, most powerful V12 motor into the engine compartment of its smallest sports car, the V8 Vantage. The result's a straight-line monster however also, in contrast to many muscle cars of yore, a nimble machine within the corners.
The V12 Vantage has a 6.0 liter motor taken from the DBS that cranks out 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft. of torque and will sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds. The engine options a ‘by-pass’ engine air intake port that unveil at 5500 rpm, a revised induction system and re-profiled air inlet ports that further improve airflow into the combustion chamber to improve performance.
Although the V12 engine weighs 220 pounds a lot of than the quality automobile’s engine, the vehicle’s overall weight solely increases one hundred ten pounds. This is possible thanks to widespread use of lightweight materials, as well as carbon ceramic brakes, forged aluminum wheels, lightweight rear quarter panels, and optional lightweight seats. Weight distribution is a close to-excellent 51:49.
The V12 Vantage’s Carbon Ceramic Matrix discs are 398 mm in diameter at the front and 360 mm at the rear whereas the brake calipers feature six pistons at the front, four at the rear and have a bigger brake pad space compared to the V8 Vantage. Air ducts positioned inside the lower front grille feed air directly onto the discs to assist cooling.
Exclusively accessible with a six-speed manual transmission, the car’s gearbox uses a transaxle configuration to assist weight distribution. The V12 Vantage’s final drive ratio has also been changed from 3.909:1 to 3.70 1:1. This permits the Vantage to take full profit of the high torque levels delivered by the engine to provide each flexibility at lower engine speeds also a high top speed of a hundred ninety mph.
While the external dimensions of the V8 Vantage remain unchanged, the inner frontal structure has been extensively revised forward of the suspension towers to deal with the larger engine, brake cooling system and twin air intake system.
Unique to the V12 Vantage is the ability to toggle button between 2 powertrain modes. The default ‘traditional’ provides a more progressive, throttle response, suited to additional everyday situations. Selecting ‘Sport’ mode delivers a sharper throttle response together with a sportier exhaust note. In default operation, the Dynamic Stability Control is automatically switched on. Depressing the DSC button for 2 seconds selects ‘track mode’ that raises the manner and threshold at that the system intervenes permitting the motive force to explore the bounds of the automotive’s considerable handling capabilities. Depressing the button for four seconds will switch off DSC completely.
The V12 Vantage proved itself in 2009 by taking home a class victory at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, where it had been driven by a cluster comprised of the company’s engineers – as well as its CEO, Dr. Ulrich Bez.
Major choices on the V12 Vantage are limited to 700-watt stereo with Dolby Surround Sound; the automobile has the wide range of commonplace, coddling luxury features one would expect at the price point.
