Fantastic color!!
You are going to love this car. It really is a case of the whole exceeding the sum of the parts. There are faster cars, cars with more tech etc, but few that work as a whole like this car. It is a perfect experience, it gets under your skin, it rewards every sense.

Besides, who else makes a V12 with a 6 sp, front (mid) engined, RWD car???

I couldn't agree more. I couldnt care less that a GTR or amg merc will destroy the Aston in the 1/4 mile or 0-60. As Jay Leno said, Aston Martin builds the car car you SHOULD have, not the car you THINK you should have. The numbers game can be unfullfilling because you acclimate so quickly to whatever speed you have. The v12 Vantage's balance of hp, low end torque, ride, handling, fit and finish, and connection to the driving experience seems to be a long term satisfying combination. I look forward to testing this hypothesis over the next several years!

Not to thread hijack, but anyone thinking of joining the V12V ranks I still have mine for sale with 1k miles, carbon black, and a new price of $152.5K. PM me for details or check the classifieds.

Enjoy! It's a brilliant car.

That's a rally good deal by the way! I'd totally buy it if I wasn't looking for a white car! Similar spec V12V are going for $169k. Someone should jump on it!

Great choice of car and color. I was deciding this summer between a V8VS and the V12V...and couldn't be happier having picked up the V12V last August. I am not getting it out much as the Seattle weather turns colder...but have taken it for several drives up over the mountain passes and into eastern washinton when the weather was warmer. I also came over from a 911.

Quick question for you...Newport Aston has a similar V12V demo and in the picture...the odom/trip display seems to be on the right display in the Tach. This is also where the new limited edition V12s have the display....it puts the MPH readout in the speedometer. Just curious if your car was the same since its also a flame orange carbon demo....again congrats....

Didn't realize there was a difference, but yes, the odom is on the right display with the tachometer.
