The Aston Martin V12 Vantage ran from 2010 through 2017, offered as both a hatchback coupe and a Roadster convertible, with the S variant arriving to sharpen the formula further. At the heart of every one is the naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12, a hand-built engine with roots in Aston Martin's original AML V12 program and a character that rewards every modification you make to its breathing and exhaust. The platform is rear-wheel drive throughout, rides on a factory-staggered 19-inch wheel setup, and ships with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern shared across a wide range of platforms, which means aftermarket wheel selection is genuinely deep. The V12 Vantage is a focused, driver-oriented GT: tight dimensions, a low center of gravity, and a chassis that responds well to suspension tuning. Whether you're refining the daily driver or building a dedicated track and show car, the platform gives you a strong foundation to work from.
Running the factory suspension, the V12 Vantage sits on a well-sorted setup from the factory. The stock ride height is already low and purposeful, so many owners focus here on refreshing worn bushings and upgrading brake hardware before touching ride height. The factory geometry is a solid baseline for street and occasional track use.
A set of lowering springs drops the V12 Vantage further and firms up the ride without the full complexity of a coilover install. The result is a cleaner, more planted stance with reduced wheel gap. This is a straightforward upgrade that works well for owners who want a more aggressive look on the street while keeping daily drivability intact.
Adjustable coilovers give you full control over ride height and damping, letting you dial in exactly how the V12 Vantage sits and handles. Height-adjustable units let you set the car precisely where you want it, front and rear independently, and quality units with adjustable damping let you tune the feel for street, canyon, or track use. Suspension bushings are a worthwhile companion upgrade here, tightening up the chassis response and eliminating the vagueness that worn rubber introduces over time.
The naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 responds well to improved induction. An aftermarket air intake opens up the breathing path, sharpens throttle response, and lets the engine's induction note come through more clearly at higher revs. On a high-revving V12, that induction sound is a genuine part of the driving experience, and a quality intake makes it more present without changing the engine's character.
An axle-back exhaust system is the most accessible exhaust upgrade for the V12 Vantage, replacing the rearmost section of the exhaust and freeing up flow behind the catalytic converters. The result is a deeper, more vocal exhaust note that better matches the engine's character at full throttle. For owners who want to go further, mid-pipe options are available to extend the system further upstream, improving flow and sharpening the tone across the rev range. Keep the catalytic converters in place for a legal, street-friendly setup.
The V12 Vantage's braking system is a natural target for upgrades, especially on cars that see track days or spirited canyon driving. Upgraded brake pads and performance rotors reduce fade under sustained hard use and improve pedal feel and consistency. On the electrical side, upgraded bulbs and lighting hardware keep the car's systems current and improve visibility. These are the bolt-ons that make the V12 Vantage more capable and more reliable in the situations it was built for.
The V12 Vantage's sculpted bodywork and low stance make it a strong platform for targeted exterior and lighting upgrades that sharpen its presence without overworking the factory design.
Lighting on the V12 Vantage rewards a careful approach: the projector housings take a well-chosen bulb or a full conversion equally well. Upgraded headlight units with projector or LED internals improve output and give the front end a more modern, intentional look. Fog light upgrades add a cleaner, brighter auxiliary light source at the front corners. Bulb upgrades throughout the car, including interior and exterior positions, are a straightforward way to modernize the lighting character across the board.
Aero upgrades are a natural fit for the V12 Vantage's GT proportions. Front splitters, side skirts, and rear diffuser elements sharpen the visual line of the car and add functional downforce at speed. Paint protection film on the front end, hood, and rocker panels preserves the factory finish against road debris, a practical priority on a low car that sees real driving miles. A body kit takes the exterior further, tying the aero elements together into a cohesive package. Fender and mirror upgrades round out the exterior options for owners building a more personalized look.
Custom-fit floor liners and cargo liners protect the V12 Vantage's interior surfaces from daily wear. Front floor liners keep the driver and passenger footwells clean, while cargo liners protect the hatch area on coupe models. These are the practical interior upgrades that preserve the car's condition over time.
Good: Suspension bushing refresh and brake pad upgrade to sharpen the factory setup. Better: Lowering springs for a cleaner stance and firmer ride, paired with performance rotors for improved brake feel. Best: Full adjustable coilover setup with ride-height and damping control, new suspension bushings throughout, and a complete brake system upgrade for track-capable performance.
Good: Cold air intake for improved throttle response and induction sound. Better: Intake paired with an axle-back exhaust for a stronger note and freer flow. Best: Full intake and mid-pipe exhaust combination with supporting electrical upgrades; a supporting ECU calibration gets the most out of the full bolt-on combination.
Good: Paint protection film on high-impact areas and a bulb upgrade throughout. Better: Aero additions including a front splitter and rear diffuser, upgraded fog lights, and upgraded headlight units. Best: Full body kit with cohesive aero package, fender and mirror upgrades, and complete exterior lighting refresh for a purposeful, finished look.
Good: Custom-fit front floor liners for driver and passenger protection. Better: Front liners plus a cargo liner for full interior surface coverage. Best: Complete interior protection package with premium liners front and rear, keeping the cabin in show condition.
Good: 19x9 +51 with 255/35R19 front and 19x11 +68 with 295/30R19 rear on stock suspension, matching the factory staggered fitment with a clean, flush result. Better: 20x9 +45 with 255/35R20 front and 20x11 +50 with 295/30R20 rear on lowering springs, sitting lower with a more aggressive stance. Best: 21x9 +40 with 255/30R21 front and 21x11 +45 with 295/25R21 rear on adjustable coilovers, dialed in at the lowest point with a sharp, intentional fitment.
Good: Refined, factory-correct, and well-maintained. A V12 Vantage that drives as well as it looks with no compromises. Better: More presence, more personality. A car that sits lower, sounds better, and turns heads on the street without giving up daily usability. Best: A focused, intentional build. Every detail dialed in, from the stance to the sound to the braking. Built to be noticed and driven hard.
It depends on your goal. If presence and stance matter most, wheels and tires or a suspension drop are natural starting points. If you want more from the engine, an intake and exhaust upgrade make an immediate difference. Brake upgrades are a smart early move for anyone who drives the car hard. There is no single right order: start with the category that matters most to your build and work outward from there.
Yes. Get pre-approved before you start building your cart so you know your budget going in. Pre-approval is fast and does not affect your credit score. Once you know what you are working with, you can build the right package without second-guessing the spend. Financing options are available at checkout, but getting pre-approved first puts you in control of the build from the start.
Our fitment team knows this platform and can walk you through wheel and tire selection, offset choices, and how suspension changes affect fitment. For install questions, we can point you toward the right sequence for your specific combination of parts. Reach out before you order if you have questions about clearance, staggered fitment, or how mods stack together on the V12 Vantage.
