It was always going to be a good thing when the boss of a car company likes to go racing in the company Vantage. No matter what the performance is out of the box, they will almost always want more. In this case a lot more, four cylinders more.The hand-built, 6.0-litre, V12 engine is literally shoehorned into Aston’s smallest and lightest car, and while that might sound like a little too extreme for a bespoke English sports car, take it from me, I probably won’t be driving the V8 Vantage again. Don’t get me wrong, the 4.7-litre V8 is a highly capable machine, but nothing beats the industrial grade torque output of an Aston Martin V12, borrowed from the DBS for those no nonsense overtakes
