Aston Martin first married its largest engine with its smallest sports car in 2007 with the Vantage RS Concept, spawning a range of V12-powered Vantage variants all using the 6.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. In response to the overwhelming popularity of the small car, big power formula, Aston Martin unveiled the 2023 Aston Martin V12 Vantage powered by the mighty twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 from the more expensive DBS Superleggera. The V12 Vantage also shared DBS's monstrous 690 horsepower figure, while torque was just shy at 555 pound-feet, with Aston Martin claiming a 20 percent better power-to-weight ratio over the V8 Vantage. More than just a power increase, the V12 Vantage was also 1.6 inches wider than the V8 model and boasted a host of chassis improvements including a rear strut brace, higher front and rear spring rates, new top mounts, revised sway bars, and a new secondary spring for the rear axle. Limited to just 333 examples worldwide and a mere 100 destined for the United States, this extremely rare Aston Martin represents the last V12-powered Vantage ever produced.

Presented here is one of just 100 such U.S.-market examples, showcasing a truly one-of-a-kind specification with an array of bespoke options. The exterior is adorned in a stunning Frosted Glass Blue finish – featuring finely crushed glass in the paintwork – accentuated by an elegant pinstripe livery scheme and bronze-finished brake calipers, for a combined cost of $19,800. The overall aesthetic is heightened by the addition of black wings badges, a black vaned front grille, smoked rear lamps, and matte black tailpipes. Those seeking additional performance will appreciate the inclusion of the Lightweight Package, a $26,000 option that enhances the already impressive capabilities of the Vantage V12 with carbon fiber sports seats, lightweight 21 inch wheels, 2x2 twill exterior carbon fiber elements, manual steering wheel adjustment, and a carbon fiber interior trim package. The interior is exquisitely trimmed in a duo-tone Onyx Black and Pale Blue semi-aniline leather that neatly matches the exterior. Contrast stitching adds an additional bespoke touch, while cabin is further enhanced by the optional Aston Martin Premium Audio system. All told, this beautifully specified Vantage V12 was ordered with over $55,000 in options alone.

The car is now offered complete with its original window sticker, two keys presented in a dedicated key box, and additional delivery items including a first aid kit and Aston Martin umbrella. These accompanying items underscore the car's as-new condition and add to its investment-grade status. With only 316 miles shown at the time of cataloging, this 2023 Aston Martin Vantage V12 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a virtually new example of one of Gaydon's finest creations, specified to a one-of-a-kind standard. It stands as a testament to Aston Martin's commitment to performance, luxury, and personalization, making it a must-have for the discerning Aston Martin devotee.
