2001 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
October 19th, 2006
The Aston Martin is definitely one of most sophisticated brands on the market today, and they made no exception with the V12 Vanquish. Available as either a two or two plus two seat coupe the V12 Vanquish will accelerate to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds and 100 mph in under 10 seconds. Through the application of advanced design techniques and materials it is lighter, stiffer and stronger and offers superior performance to that of the V8 engined Vantage model which it replaces.
2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
April 17th, 2006
A classic mid-front V12 Ferrari two-seater good for close to 210 mph: What could be more fun? This 575M Maranello replacement looks new in Ferrari styling terms even though the windshield is carryover. This 2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is something special.
At first glance the GTB’s styling seems to mimic its larger 4-seat brother, the 612 Scgalietti. Both share the same front end design which Pininfarina now sets as the enduring face of Ferrari, but unlike the 612, the 599 has an entirely new roof line and much tidier rear end treatment with two sexy rear buttresses.
