Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I vs Aston Martin Vanquish

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Aston Martin Vanquish is the quicker car, covering it in 11.90 s at 120.8 mph against the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I’s 12.18 s — a margin of 0.28 s. To 60 mph the Aston Martin Vanquish takes 3.65 s and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I 3.94 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I or the Aston Martin Vanquish faster?
The Aston Martin Vanquish. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.90 s to the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I's 12.18 s, a margin of 0.28 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.65 s against 3.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.18 s at 120.2 mph.
What is the Aston Martin Vanquish 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin Vanquish reaches 60 mph in 3.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.90 s at 120.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I trips the lights at 120.2 mph and the Aston Martin Vanquish at 120.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Mk I and 9 of 11 for the Aston Martin Vanquish. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
