Reviews of the Aston Martin GT12 have started to surface and Chris Harris is one of the first to deliver a verdict on the latest hardcore Aston Martin.

Limited to just 100 units, the Aston Martin GT12 is essentially the road-going version of the GT3 race car. Lighter by 100kg and more powerful than the V12 Vantage S, the 600PS (592hp) track weapon is one of the most special road cars of the year, featuring a brand new suspension and stuffed with lightweight materials like magnesium, titanium and of course carbon fiber.

And let’s not forget that the GT12 represents not only the most track-focused Aston Martin this side of the Vulcan, but it’s also the last of its generation.

A celebration as Chris calls it on his video, a farewell party to one of the most characterful V12 engines this world has ever seen.
