Details of the production V12 Vantage started to emerge a couple of weeks prior to the publics first view at the Geneva Salon, 2009. It has been a little over a year since the V12 Vantage RS was first shown and it appears faithful extremely similar to the concept. Perhaps the most significant change, has been the dropping of the 'RS' tag following many negative comments by owners and enthusiasts. What is most fascinating is that the overall weight of the V12 Vantage is only 50kg heavier than the V8 due to significant weight reduction throughout the car. Fitted with the 510bhp version of the V12 (equivalent to DBS spec), the Vantage is estimated to reach 190mph and 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. The deeper front carbonfibre airdam, extensive carbonfibre bonnet louvers, extended sill covers, carbonfibre rear diffuser and larger tail spoiler make it easy to identify the V12 over the V8, but I anticipate all that you will need is to hear the exhaust note. The pop-up boot spoiler hasn't made it into production although this feature is expected to appear on the One-77.
