Checked out Vantage V12 in Australia Dealer

checked out Vantage V12 in Australia last week. Looks like the front splitters and air dampers are all carbon fiber...looks nice with gray. The rear spoiler lid seems higher than the V8....looks like a sports spoiler like N24. Interior seats are similar to DBS. Not sure if rear diffuser and side mirrors are carbon fiber too..didn't look too close. Of course, there's rear clear lights and new skirt. I did not test drive the car...it's right hand drive there.

Very good pics astondude, the carbon fiber was definitely implemented well. I love that tail light color with the body paint.

Congrats to you jaymoney!

BTW, would be nice to see the V12 come to the US...

Sweet ride. Too bad they're not releasing a V12 Vantage Volante.

BTW - the V12V is coming to the US in about 2 months.

I just got back from the UK and did the Performance Driving Course at Millbrook with one other "student" whose car of choice was the V12V. I have a DB9, so that's what I was driving. But the V12V is an amazing car in person with an awesome sound. It was barely off the manufacturing line as I think it had less than 200 miles on it. The other person was extremely impressed with its performance when we were all done, admittedly far exceeding his expectations. His other cars include a 599, a Noble, other Ferrari's, MB's and so on. He was very much a sports car person vs. a GT person and he was really blown away by the V12V. He had recently returned an R8 and cancelled his order for the R8V10 and a MB SLS and chose the V12V instead. When it was all said and done, he was very glad he went with the Aston instead.

Side note - if you ever have a chance to visit the UK, do the course at Millbrook. It is unbelievable and it doesn't matter how experienced of a driver you are...just getting the opportunity to drive on the multiple tracks at Millbrook is more than worth it.
