Thinking selling our V8 Vantage and upgrading to a V12 Vantage S or the newer V12 DB11. IF I get the V12, I was thinking of a tune to get closer to 700hp. I live and operate at 5k feet so the air is a little thinner...hence thinking of the turbo.

Thoughts?? Things to look for?

 

V12 Vantage is beautiful and sounds wonderful.

 

The way I look at it is that the V12VS is (hopefully) at the bottom of its depreciation curve. The DB11 is just getting started depreciating. But both are beautiful cars.

 

I'm in same camp but mainly considering V12 Vantage S vs a V8 manual. Leaning towards the 12. Had my fun of manual cars, close to over it at this point. Have never driven the auto V12s, but figure it can't be any worse then my Gallardo I had.

The lines on the Vantage and its size is just spectacular. I'd vote Vantage S between the two for you ... but since you're getting out of the V8, thats a tougher call. Good luck with the hunt!!

 

Tough choice, do you want an all out sports car or something more modern. DB11 V12 sounds pretty wicked and feel agile on its feet. No Vanquish of DB9 GT for consideration? Makes all the harder to choose.

 

The DB9 and Vanquish just weren't fast/quick enough. The V12 Vantage and the V12 DB11 both are fast/quick enough for my liking...and I like the styling. Just not a fan of the new vantage, hence going with the v12 vantage or the newer DB11 v12 turbo (that might be quicker and handle the altitude better than the NA v12 Vantage).

Only one is available as a manual and the prices for the V12VSM are only going up.
