Aston Martin is replacing the already incredible V12 Vantage with a more extreme variant, the V12 Vantage S. Powered by a new AM28 6.0L V12, the coupe can hit a top speed of 205 mph, making it one of the fastest Astons ever built second to its bigger brother, the 220 mph One-77. The car will also featuretheir latest transmission tech, the Sportshift III AMT transaxle, a hydraulically actuated automated manual transmission (say that five times fast) which is 25kg lighter than the manual gearbox in the previous car and features race-spec technology from their competition cars, three-stage adaptive damping,an exhaust system based off the One-77's, and a new ZF Servotronic power assisted steering system.
