Aston Martin Vantage GT12 is going to make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed which starts later this month –

 

Goodwood Festival of Speed is best known for hosting the debuts of some of the world’s most exotic and fastest supercars. This festival starts later this month and gets the attention of hundreds of thousands of spectators, eager to have a first look at their fancy cars.

 

GT12 is the most powerful Vantage ever

 

In the beginning, this Vantage was named GT3 but later on – when Porsche cried foul – the company changed it to GT12, which is one of the quickest production and most powerful Vantage ever built.

It is using a 5.9-litre V12 engine which produces 592 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque. Despite of all this monstrous power, it weighs 330 pounds less than its predecessor, the Vantage V12 S.

 

Use of lightweight materials is brilliant

 

Koenigsegg brilliantly used lightweight materials in the construction of Regera, these materials are carbon fibre, aluminium, magnesium, and titanium. One of the best things this beast is the aerodynamic body kit, stiffer suspension setup and seven-speed automated manual transmission. So in the light of all these enhancements, the Koenigsegg Regera is all ready for the track.

These new lightweight materials are used for the inlet manifolds. The aerodynamics cut the 0-60 mph sprint time from 3.7 to 3.5 seconds.

 

Are they going to showcase just one car?

 

No, they are not. Aston Martin is going to showcase V12 Vantage Roadster, S Coupe, Vanquish Volante and the Rapide S.

Aston Martin has also announced the date of Vantage GT12 debut, which will be on Thursday, June 25th.

Aston Martin will charge £248,445 for one unit and is going to produce only 100 Vantage GT12. So if you are willing to shell out that much money, this is the best choice for you.
