revision of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

After a lapse of several months of playing with the little Aston Martin Vantage N430, the V8 engine, eventually Autocar can chat with her sister, Vantage S V12. At first glance the dimensions and looks identical, only mechanical heart are different. Indeed typical parts of the two models is wrapping 'lipstick' attached to the edges of the grill with contrasting colors.

Well, our sportscar driving this time berkelir yellow blends black carbonfibre on the grille and the air holes in the bonnet. The effect is striking color combinations. In our point of view, it was more like a kind of visual artistic touch than automotive styling. Aston Martin engineers character symbols convey a powerful vehicle through the exterior design language, such as pull line flowing from the fascia to the rear.

The analogy, if you look at the figure of James Bond, the character that emerges is a quiet, well-dressed, full of allure, but powerful. And it is. The relationship between the hero with the Aston Martin was so attached. In connection with that, this vehicle seems more suited juxtaposed with aristocratic consumers who understand how to interact with Vantage S V12. Sure, anyone can buy it as a resident's garage.

Dashboard Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

Turning to the interior. British manufacturers have never done a refresher since 2009. Aston Martin still retains the old dashboard design that feels outdated with other sportscar, while the instrument panel is still the same style that does not look aggressive. When you enter, the atmosphere was similar to Vanquish. Aston Martin retains classic touches such as an analog clock on the center console and handbrake in the form of sticks drawn manually. For Aston Martin's caliber, no doubt about how they wrap the interior, including car seats, with quality materials stitched (hand-made) with high accuracy.
