Aston Martin : V12 Vantage

 

Latest incarnation of the family Vantage is designed to provide a unique and interesting to test different pilots and complement other models of the current Aston Martin line-up. Designed for pilots who are targeted, each component of the V12 Vantage will have repaired, with great pleasure of driving in mind. Benefits of the components and manufactured materials and career with lightweight carbon fiber, the agility and performance are given to perfection.

After the successful V8 Vantage, V12 Vantage has V12 engine of 6.0 litres producing 510 HP (380 kW / 517 HP) and 570 Nm (420 lb-pie) of torque with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h) and 0 - 62 mph (0-100 kp / h) time of 4.2 seconds.

Avoid changes purely cosmetic, each modification panel Vantage V12 has been modified to improve the dynamics of the vehicle. The knowledge acquired from the N24 racing programme has led to the revision of the body that is designed to increase aerodynamic load without increasing the coefficient of drag of cars. Each of the following functional requirements, at the same time that contribute to the impressive design - a separator of front channels revised air cooling of the brakes and the result radiator at the same time in the inferior force improved. vents in the bonnet remove heat from the engine compartment and contribute to increasing the front-ends by force by limiting air pressure built under the hood. 

New face thresholds N24 race car derived from the respiratory tract towards the rear of the car rather than down, reducing the elevation of the back. From sharper ' pull ' and the new carbon fiber diffuser work more in tune with a rear redesigned below respiratory tract through a new high-capacity oil radiator and maintain an area of low pressure in the back of the drive to produce more with the violence and help keep.
