XKR-S GT vs C63 BS vs V12 Vantage S

It’s a weird world isn’t these days, automakers seem to be making hardcore versions of already hardcore version cars. Is it all really necessary? Well, automakers would like to think so.

The XKR-S GT is a hardcore version of a hardcore version of a hardcore version… Yep, XKR, XKR-S, XKR-S GT. But the end result is a proper track weapon.

The Aston Martin Vantage V12 S is an upgraded version of the already mad V12 Vantage.

The C63 AMG is hardcore enough but AMG decided it needed more, it needed treatment from the Black works.

Now all you need to do is kick back, relax and just enjoy all three of these beasts go hand in hand.

Steve Sutcliffe of Autocar magazine demonstrates.

Recently Aston Martin was teasing us with video’s of a new model. And now, yet another Aston Martin Vantage has hit the tarmac. The english automaker seems to be waving the Vantage good-bye with a last addition to the range for the model line.

This time it’s an advanced engineering story told by monumental numbers. 15kg lighter than V12 Vantage. 573PS of power. 620Nm of peak torque. With enhanced low and mid-range power the new-generation AM28 engine pushes the car to a top speed of 205mph, creating the fastest series production model Aston Martin ever made. The V12 Vantage S.

Extreme performance. Extreme styling. A bold new carbon fibre grille marries design and engineering to improve airflow whilst defining a more aggressive front profile. New roof and rear graphics packs. Lightweight forged alloy wheels. All new interior finishes on seats, doors and controls. Never opulent but always dramatic the V12 Vantage S is tailored for a visceral driving experience.
