Inside, the Aston Martinn V12 Vantage S gets bespoke finishes on seats, doors and controls, while carbon fibre lightweight seats come as an option. The trim choices are available in the form of two leather grade options, Luxmill and semi-aniline, with the option of Alcantara. To further enhance the sporty appeal, there is the optional Carbon Fibre Interior Pack that adds material to the car's facia and door pulls, and black pedals.
Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, said: “The V12 Vantage S is our most powerful engine, dressed in a beautifully tailored suit. It is elegant, yet brutal, and it is at the same time easy to control. It has everything that sums up Aston Martin: power, beauty and soul."
