The Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS is the most 'extraordinary road car ever to display the Aston wings on its nose', according to 4Car's correspondent Andrew Frankel.
The monster six-litre V12 pumps out a mighty 600bhp and it's 130kg lighter than a V8 Vantage thanks to the inclusion of carbon fibre body panels and removal air-conditioning, airbags and sound deadening materials. In fact it weighs the same as a basic spec 1.8-litre diesel powered Ford Mondeo, but has the same power as the Aston Martin DBR9 racing car that won the GT category at the Le Mans 24-hours last year.
It is not only an ultra-high performance supercar, says Frankel, it's also a new breed of product for Aston Martin. It's a track- inspired, uncompromising driver's car that shares more conceptual ground with the most sporting Ferraris, Porsches and Lamborghinis, he adds.
