25 fastest cars in the world
Aston Martin V12 Vantage S (205 mph)
If you prefer your supercars with British heritage, you’ll love the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. The smallest of Aston’s offerings had the most to gain by using a 5.9-liter V12 engine. Big power in a compact package means absurd performance. In this case, the naturally aspirated motor churns up 563hp and 457 lb-ft of torque with – get this – your choice of seven-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmissions. That’s right, a 205-mph sports car that still let’s you take control of the action.
For arguable the most refined muscle car in the world, Aston Martin asks $188,795. Even if you can’t afford the V12 Vantage S, you can at least appreciate its vicious snarl. If you can afford one, but are at all hesitant, then you simply aren’t deserving of one of the 100 units allotted to the U.S. market.
