Geneva Preview: Aston Martin V12 Vantage
By Alex Ion
After plenty of teasing, Aston Martin is expected to reveal the new V12 Vantage concept at this year’s Auto Salon in Geneva. Though it looks familiar, the new Vantage has undergone a slight aesthetic facelift– including larger air intakes, a lower spoiler and a new dual exhaust system with larger tips. The biggest change, however, is under the hood. This new Aston Martin features a mammoth 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 510 bhp and 570 Nm of torque, takes it from 0 to 62mph in only 4.2 seconds up to a max speed of 190mph. We wouldn’t mind getting behind the wheel of this beast… [via Jalopnik]
