90th post.

yea. sorry i didn't post the past few days...the move and stuff. basically, every things done except the unpacking...BOX LANd!!!( the 'd' is supposed to be like that. )

ANYWAY, i was searching for the Nissan Silvia S15 or something to that matter, and i kinda stumbled upon a guy's website and he was showing all of the new cars coming out in the new 2 years, Lotus Eagle, Ferrari F149, the new RX-8 and RX-7 etc.

and he showed the Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS Concept. so, i decided to put it on my blog.

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS.

Good keeps getting better over at Aston Martin, who never seem to tire of making their sports cars faster and faster. The latest in the speed wars from their new headquarters in Gaydon is this adrenaline-dripping special-edition V12 Vantage RS.

Into what could very well prove to be the fastest, hottest Aston Martin yet, the newly independent British automaker has dropped the V12 reactor not from the recently demised Vanquish, not from the road-going DB9 or the Bond-tastic DBS derivative, but from the DBRS9 race car. With somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 horsepower (!) pushing 3500 lbs, the V12 Vantage RS is anticipated to clock a 0-60 time in the 3's on its way to a 200-mph top speed.

Performance target: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

That's highly ambitious, considering that the Fiorano is widely acclaimed as one of the most competent supercars on the planet, but with that kind of juice in such a brilliant package as the Vantage's, it might not be so far-fetched.

At the time of writing, AutoWeek was the only source carrying the information, and we hope to have more details soon on the special Vantage which was unveiled earlier today on the occasion of the company's new design center. Although it was launched as a concept, sources suggest it could very well find its way into limited production and slot into the Aston Martin line-up above the current flagship DBS. We certainly hope so.
