04 February 2009

Aston Martin is to unveil the V12 Vantage at the Geneva motor show in March.

The most exhilarating sports car in Aston Martin's 95-year history is set to be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva motor show.

On March 3rd, Aston Martin will show the V12 Vantage, which features a 6.0-litre V12 engine, capable of a top speed of 190 miles per hour.

Other features of the vehicle include the use of lightweight carbon fibre and race developed materials, while including rear parking sensors, a trip computer and automatic temperature control.

Aston Martin chief executive Dr Ulrich Bez said: "This is the ultimate performance interpretation of the Vantage range, combining our most agile model with our most powerful engine.

"The V12 Vantage has a unique character, unlike our other cars. This will appeal to different people with different tastes, allowing more people to enjoy the Aston Martin experience."

The model will be built at Aston Martin's headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, which was also the location where the DBS and DB9 were created.

Deliveries of the vehicle are expected to begin in the third quarter of this year, while the price is set to be revealed at the motor show.
