Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Sexiest Aston Martin ever (all over again)?
Aston Martin chief Ulrich Bez continues his hot pursuit of the best from Ferrari, this time with a scorching V12 Vantage RS road car. Powered by a 600-hp V12 borrowed from the DBRS9 racer, the 3500-pound car clocks sub-4.0-second 0-to-60-mph times and hits a top speed of 200 mph, near that of Ferrari's 599 GTB, Aston says.
Billed as a concept, the car, revealed on Dec. 11 at the opening of Aston's design center in Gaydon, is likely to find its way into production next year as a limited-edition model priced above the flagship DBS. Besides the engine, the Vantage RS also gets performance parts such as carbon-composite brake discs.

On a side note, Aston Martin confirmed that the DBS will return for the next Bond film. (we knew that already) Even so, I bet Bond feels a bit shortchanged now.
