The Aston Martin V12 Vantage

The new V12 Vantage is based on the Vantage RS Concept car that was shown to journalists about 11-months ago. This new production model will make it's official Geneva Auto show. 

The car's 6-liter V12 engine will put out 510hp at 6500rpm and 420lb ft of torque at 5750rpm. Other than that, it's also had it's look upgraded to distinguish it from the V8 model, with new front and rear bumpers, front splitter, sills, rear diffuser, roof and trunk lid.

A price for the V12 hasn't been set yet, but most figure it to be in the $200,000 range.

You can catch more pictures of the car over at Jalopnik HERE, and I'm sure there will be a lot more info once the Geneva show starts, which I believe is in March.
