2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 Facelift

The facelift version 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 will show up at the 82nd edition Geneva Motor Show next month, but until that happens here are a few photos that reveal the minor styling tweaks that have been applied by the British company.

At the front the new Vantage V8 received a lower bumper with an incorporated air splitter, the sides are now featuring re-sculpted sills while the rear received a redesigned bumper and a new diffuser. 

A number of performance upgrades, which were first seen on the Vantage S have also been applied, and we are talking about a quicker steering ratio, chunkier brakes with 380 mm discs and 6-piston callipers, and wheels which are now 10 mm wider.

The 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 is motivated by a 4.7-litre V8 which sends 420 bhp (313 kW) and 490 Nm of torque to the wheels via a standard 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 7-speed Sportshift II transmission which replaced the old 6-speed Sportshift automated.

Pricing for both the coupe and roaster versions 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 will start at 84,995 GBP in the UK and at 108,500 Euros in Germany.
