The Aston Martin Vantage V600 is back, only this time it's packing a V-12 under the hood and limited to just 14 examples—seven coupes and seven Volante convertibles.
The original Vantage V600 was a post-title upgrade offered
to owners of the V8 Virage back in 1998. The car offered close to 600
horsepower thanks to a pair of superchargers, which at the time was about the
same power you'd get in the most powerful supercars.
The modern Vantage V600 also has about 600 hp—592 to be
exact—this time from Aston Martin's venerable 5.9-liter V-12, with drive sent
to the rear wheels via a seven-speed manual transmission. The car's body is
also all carbon fiber.
The car was commissioned by a private individual via the Q
by Aston Martin personalization service and features a number of references to
the original launched two decades ago.
These include the re-imagined front fender vents and the
hood's power bulge.
The modern Vantage V600 also benefits from a darkened grille
and carbon fiber rear diffuser both unique to the model.
The external look of the car is further distinguished by
bespoke center-lock forged and machined aluminum wheels.
The interior features a blend of carbon fiber and dark
anodized aluminium. The lightweight seats have an all-new perforation pattern
and are joined by a carbon fiber center console, saddle leather armrest, solid
gear shifter, and bespoke dials in the instrument cluster.
Aston Martin will start deliveries of the new Vantage V600
in the second half of 2018. Available via order only, the cars represent the
last two-door models built on Aston Martin's outgoing VH platform.
