Aston Martin has been teasing the V12 Vantage for months, but the teaser campaign is coming to an end as the company has confirmed the model will be unveiled on March 16th.
The latest teaser doesn’t reveal much besides the date, but previous glimpses have shown the model will have a classic grille and a prominent front splitter. Spy photos have also suggested the car will be equipped with a new hood and a unique front bumper that features air curtains.
The rear end is pretty evolutionary, but the V12 Vantage will be equipped with a massive wing. The model may also have a wider rear track and a new exhaust system. We can also expect a sport-tuned suspension and lightweight wheels that are backed up by a high-performance braking system.

Aston Martin has been tight-lipped about specifics, but has previously said the model will mark the “end of an era” as the “final descendent of its lineage.” While the death of the V12 Vantage is undoubtedly sad, the model is going out with a bang as it will feature “unapologetic power and luxury” as well as an “unmistakable and deafening V12 Aston Martin roar.”
We’ll learn full details next week, but the model is slated to feature the company’s familiar twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine. It produces 630 hp (447kW / 639 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque in the DB11, while the DBS Superleggera cranks things up to 715 hp (533 kW / 725 PS) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque.
However, the V12 Vantage’s output is expected to fall somewhere in between and the V12 Speedster likely gives us our best idea of what to expect. Loosely based on the Vantage, the limited edition packed 690 hp (515 kW / 700 PS) and 555 lb-ft (753 Nm) of torque, which enabled the model to rocket from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds.
