What is more enticing that a 6.0L V12 producing 512 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of twist, while displaying the pinnacle of European luxury performance, and styling?
How about parking it in your driveway?
Aston Martin has officially announced the sale of the V12 Vantage in the U.S. later this year with the launch of the Carbon Black special edition.
Why the change in Aston Martin's offering? Money, of course. After some market research Aston Martin had solid grounds, and a demand, to bring the V12 here.
Of course there will be some minor changes to the car before it can, "satisfy the specific requirements of the American Market" (fifteen cup-holders?). There could be some engine tuning, the addition of catalytic converter units, and some structural modifications to meet U.S. crash and safety standards. Yet, there has been no official release on all the changes that may occur.
So if you have the cash, Aston Martin is taking orders; hurry up.
