Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Stretches its Legs in the Desert

Aston Martin calls the V12 Vantage S “the most ferocious Aston Martin ever produced.” Certainly by the looks of the thing it’s got some bark to it. In the video below, the Australians test out how much bite the car has. Besides all the measurements being mentioned in kilowatts and Newton meters, look forward to hearing about the seven-speed “robotized manual”. Ahh, Australians.

Here are the specs for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S converted to U.S. sensibilities:

• 563-hp 6.0L V12 with 457 lb-ft of torque
• 3,715-lb curb weight
• 0-62 in 3.7 seconds
• 205-mph top speed

Here is how the V12 Vantage S compares to the V12 Vantage.

And here is the V12 Vantage S going head to head with the V12 Vantage in a one-mile drag race.
