About the V12 Vantage Mk I

The 2009 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,680 kg with 510 bhp, which works out at 303 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 303 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.00 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,027th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 35th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 120.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I reaches 60 mph in 3.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,027th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I quarter mile time?
12.18 s at 120.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I have?
510 bhp and 1,680 kg, which is 303 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 305 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I?
Closest here on pace: TVR Tuscan 3.6 350 (3.97 s), Wiesmann GT MF4-CS 4.0 V8 420 (3.92 s), Porsche Cayman GT4 981 (3.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
