The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a sports car manufactured by Aston Martin. It is powered by a 5.9L V12 which was also used in the Aston Martin DBS.
Carbon-fibre louvres on the bonnet, a new rear diffuser, and a rear wing distinguish the car from other Vantage models.
Production started in 2009 and was originally planned to be limited to 1,000 units. The limit was later lifted and over 1,300 units were produced including a convertible variant and the Zagato-designed V12 Zagato.
The production of the V12 Vantage ended in mid-2013 and the model was replaced by the more powerful and lighter V12 Vantage S later in the year.
Need for Speed: World
The V12 Vantage was made available in Need for Speed: World on September 9, 2011 following the second "Spot the Devs" event.
The V12 Vantage's acceleration and nitrous boost are almost the same as the Aston Martin DBS. It also has great handling attributes due to good grip whilst cornering and a nimble steering. Top speed is 192 mph (309 km/h).

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage appears in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) as a Super Series racer vehicle, and as an SCPD Rapid Deployment unit.
The racer vehicle is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 645,000 racer bounty. The SCPD unit is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 645,000 cop bounty.
Compared to other vehicles within its performance class, the V12 Vantage is clearly lacking in terms of acceleration. However, it is featured with powerful nitrous, very responsive steering, and is capable of performing longer drifts. It is a balanced vehicle for pursuits, being reasonably durable but not the best in class.
