2010 Aston Martin Vantage V12

Description

Few cars capture the old-school Aston Martin formula quite like the V12 Vantage. A compact sports car with a mighty 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 up front, rear-wheel drive and, most importantly, a 6-speed manual gearbox.

With 380 kW and 570 Nm, the V12 Vantage is already an impressive performer, but it’s the combination of the engine and manual transmission that makes this car truly special. The naturally aspirated V12 loves to rev, while the manual gearbox puts the driver right at the centre of the experience.

It’s also a rare combination. The V12 Vantage was produced in limited numbers, making manual examples increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This example is finished in metallic white over a red leather/alcantara interior, with incredibly low mileage of 10000km. Paired with the rare manual gearbox, it makes for the ultimate drivers car. In an era of turbocharged engines, dual-clutch gearboxes and ever-increasing levels of electronic intervention, the V12 Vantage represents something increasingly rare — a compact Aston Martin with a big naturally aspirated V12 and a manual gearbox. A proper driver’s car.
