The Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS concept was unveiled in December 2007 at the official opening of Aston Martin's new design center in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. The V12 Vantage RS is based on the V8 Vantage, but with a 6.0 litre, 600 horsepower V12 shoehorned under the bonnet. The V12 Vantage RS has also undergone a weight reduction program which involves the creation of a carbon fibre bonnet and boot lid and carbon ceramic brakes. All this results in outstanding performance figures, 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and 0-100 mph in only 8.5 seconds.Style-wise the Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS is almost identical to the V8 Vantage, but with more aggressive design details. The bonnet receives louvres which help cool the engine, extra intakes at the front of the car cool the performance brakes, and at the rear an electronic spoiler rises from the body at speed.The V12 Vantage RS is a concept car which is production feasible, and if there is demand for the car Aston Martin have declared that a small production run could be possible.
