Aston Martin revealed the V12 Vantage in 2009, bringing the 2007 V12 Vantage RS concept car's wild idea to production. The formula was simple and effective: take the 5.9L, 510 hp V12 from the DBS and fit it into the company's smallest model, the Vantage. Initially offered only with a 6-speed manual transaxle, it was an instant hit with enthusiasts looking for a brutish, analog driving experience.
The V12 Vantage is highly collectible because it represents a pinnacle of old-school engineering before turbocharging and complex electronics took over. In 2013, the V12 Vantage S arrived with 565 hp and the Sportshift III automated manual, though a desirable 7-speed dog-leg manual returned for the final model years. The combination of a massive naturally aspirated engine, a compact chassis, and the availability of a manual gearbox makes it a modern classic.
Market prices reflect the car's desirability, with manual gearbox cars commanding a premium. The later, more powerful 'S' models, especially the very rare 7-speed manuals, sit at the top of the market. While values have been strong, there's still a wide spread based on mileage, condition, and transmission type, with average prices sitting around $144,000.
Buying Tips
- A full service history from an Aston Martin dealer or a known specialist is critical. The V12 engine's maintenance can be extremely expensive if neglected.
- Check the life of the carbon ceramic brakes. They are costly to replace, so inspect for chips and wear. Some squeal when cold is normal.
- For manual cars, feel for clutch slip or a high pedal engagement point. Clutch replacement is an engine-out job and costs thousands.
- On Sportshift automated manual cars, get a specialist to read the clutch wear percentage. Low-speed jerkiness is common, but excessive hesitation is a red flag.
- Inspect the aluminum body panels carefully for bubbling paint, especially at the bottom of the doors and around handles. This indicates corrosion and is a known issue.
Observed prices for sold examples range from $64,500 to a high of $290,000 for prime V12 Vantage S models.
