2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Coupe 7-Speed Manual
Overview
This 2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Coupe combines flagship high displacement and investment grade rarity as a manual transaxle, rear-wheel drive swan song—believed to be the last naturally aspirated V12 manual sold in the United States by a mainstream automotive manufacturer. One of an estimated 65 V12 Vantage S manual Coupes, out of 100 total manual (Coupe & Roadster) allocated for the United States, this 12-cylinder Vantage S is further specified with nearly $25k in factory options including sought-after Sport-Plus Pack extras. Finished in Jet Black, this Aston Martin’s sleek silhouette is further complemented by Black exterior trim and rear tailpipes plus factory Carbon Pack accents, grey brake calipers, and a polished aluminum exterior fuel filler cap. Full paint protection film and a rear bumper decal are reported as the vehicle's sole modifications.
Elegant aesthetics continue throughout the cabin, with Pure Black Alcantara and leather upholstery and Black foot pedals. Power adjustable seats with 3-position memory/mirror settings feature Aston Martin headrest embroidery with White contrast stitching. Additional interior highlights include push-button ignition with included ‘Emotional Control Unit’ glass key fobs, an Alcantara-trimmed multi-function steering wheel, AMi III infotainment w/navigation, reversing camera, front parking sensors, and auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Driving thrills provided by the 5.9L V12 engine, dogleg 7-speed manual transaxle, and limited-slip differential are matched by ventilated carbon-ceramic disc brakes and adaptive suspension.
Service documentation from 2022 onwards highlights routine upkeep performed by a European specialist workshop backed by clean Carfax history from new. Under 15,700 miles are displayed at the time of cataloguing. A Seller’s Disclosure, two key fobs + emergency key, owner's literature, service records, tire inflator kit, and window sticker copy accompany the sale.
