The V12 Vantage S was announced in May 2013 as a sportier version of the V12 Vantage. Its 5.9-liter AM28 V12 makes 565 horsepower and 457 lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed Sportshift III automated manual. It brought carbon-ceramic brakes and three-stage adaptive damping. Ours is a 2015 V12 Vantage S in Volcano Red Metallic, with full carbon inside and out and an AMR titanium exhaust.
