Aston Martin, V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition

"Powered by a V12 engine and paired with the hugely desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, this Vantage delivers quite phenomenal performance capabilities. As time passes, well-maintained and sought-after Aston Martin models tend to appreciate in value. The V12 Vantage has the potential to become a future classic." - David Spickett, CEO of TheCarCrowd.


Why the Aston Martin V12 Vantage?
Rarer than a Ferrari F40
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage holds great weight amongst collectors. Aston Martin are renowned for their timeless and elegant designs and this particular car is no exception.

Strong Potential for Appreciation
Historically, limited-production, high-performance models from car manufacturers across the board, especially those with prestigious brands like Aston Martin, have shown strong potential for appreciation. As these cars become more collectible, their values tend to increase.

Unique Investment Opportunity
Similar to its competitors, the 6-speed transmission is becoming ever less common on performance cars, not to mention paired with a V12 engine. This uniqueness in the modern day is almost unheard of and represents a promising investment opportunity as collectors fight to get their hands on what could be one of the last manual V12 cars to leave a factory. The combination of a 5.9 V12 engine and a manual gearbox provides a driving experience that is increasingly rare in modern cars. This unique blend of power and engagement can attract driving enthusiasts and collectors.

A Rich History of Luxury and Performance
Aston Martin has a rich history and is synonymous with luxury and performance. The brand's association with iconic figures and its presence in popular culture, such as the James Bond franchise, bolster its appeal.

Timeless Design and Attention to Detail
Aston Martin is renowned for its timeless design and attention to detail. The V12 Vantage is no exception, featuring classic Aston Martin styling that is likely to remain attractive and relevant, adding to its long-term value.
