Aston stuffs 600hp V12 into Vantage

Aston’s new Bond-backed, DB9-based flagship coupe, the DBS, has taken a critical pounding. By the lofty standards of Aston’s recent produce, at least. Fortunately, the company has something altogether tastier cooking in the form of this new V12 Vantage RS. With no less than 600 ponies crammed into the Vantage’s compact and relatively light body, performance should be more than adequate. For now, it’s only a concept. But heavy hints from Aston suggest the car will receive a low-volume production run.
