124 Supercar Fest Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars 2023 - Cars Registration: YD16 BFL Chassis No.: SCFEJBCR6GGS02336 Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000 Lot 869 2016 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S The traditional American ‘muscle-car’ technique of squeezing a huge V8 into a small (by US standards) car is an established route to increased performance, and so it was with the V12-engined Vantage RS prototype, which combined Aston Martin’s largest engine with its most compact model. Built in just four months by Aston Martin’s Special Vehicle Operations department, the first prototype was unveiled by Dr Bez at the official opening of the British manufacturer’s new design studio at Gaydon, Warwickshire on 11th December 2007. Dr Bez promised that a production version would be considered should there be sufficient demand and the result was a deluge of enquiries from enthusiasts eager to get their hands on, what promised to be, Aston’s fastest-ever road car. In early 2008, they confirmed that production of the V12 Vantage would indeed commence in mid-2009 and the new car would be based on the V8 Vantage Coupé, but powered by the company’s familiar 6.0-litre V12 as found in the V12 Vanquish, DB9, and DBS models. In 2013, Aston introduced the uprated V12 Vantage S which offered an astonishing 563bhp at 6,750rpm and a massive 620Nm of torque, smoothly fed to the rear wheels through their new 7-speed Sportshift lll automated manual transmission. With a claimed 0 - 60 time of just 3.9 seconds, the V12 Vantage S was the fastest production Aston Martin ever, equalling their very special One-77. We are delighted to present this stunning UK-supplied right-hand drive 2016 (16) Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Coupé, that has covered just 7,700 miles at the time of cataloguing. It has been enjoyed by our vendor and one former keeper and has a full Aston Martin service history. The impressive optional extras list include the Premium Aston Martin audio system, carbon fibre front grille, a reversing camera and the car also benefits from being fully coated with paint protection film. Finished in Meteorite Silver, the Aston presents superbly with 19“ Satin Black alloy wheels, red brake calipers, and a carbon fibre front grille and bonnet louvres. The classic Aston interior is furnished in Obsidian Black and Chancellor Red leather with contrasting red stitching. Gloss Piano Black trim surrounds the centre consoles and touch points on the doors, interspersed with black and red elements there too, and the Alcantara headlining is finished in the same shade of red you’ll see throughout. It’s a typically Aston cockpit and a rather special place to be. With 563bhp, this is a seriously fast motor car and a veritable Supercar. In a very stylish colour combination, this gleaming Aston will reward a closer inspection at our Supercar Fest Sale and, guided sensibly, this Vantage S appears to offer superb value for money for a British V12 GT that’s barely run-in. UK-supplied, post-facelift, 563bhp V12 Vantage S with a stunning specification and just 7,700 miles from new. Consignor: Harry Whale Telephone No: 07919 887374 More Details Lot 869 Bid On Lot 869
