With the exception of the limited-edition One-77, the 422 kW Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is the fastest road-going Aston Martin to date. CAR magazine sampled the sonorous 5,9-litre V12 machine in the Californian desert, where its haunting engine note reverberated over the seared, barren plains. Turn the sound up for this one! The driving impression of the R2,9 million V12 S by CAR deputy editor Mike Fourie appears in CAR’s December 2013 issue.
