Aston Martin Virage 2012 new sports coupe review

The British sports auto maker now gives three distinct V-12 models on the same 107.9-inch wheelbase with the introduction of the Aston Martin Virage 2012 and lays the sports car as a way for customers to split the difference between the sporty DB9 and the sportier DBS. Or better yet, the new Aston Martin lineup should be described as sporty (DB9), sportier (Virage), sportiest (DBS).

The Virage 2012 car is offered as a 2+2 coupe, with a rear-seat delete option. The Volante (convertible) variant is only a two-seater. In splitting the difference between DB9 and DBS, Aston offers a number of standard features such as a new Adaptive Damping System that has five stiffness settings in the normal mode and five settings within the stiffer sport mode. The system automatically reacts to road irregularities to provide optimum levels of ride and handling. Also standard on the Virage are carbon ceramic disc brakes.

One of Aston Martin’s endearing characters has been its ability to make more from less – especially when it comes to its VH (Vertical/Horizontal) platform strategy that uses basically the same chassis bits to make all its cars from the V8 Vantage up through the four-door Rapide. Production of the 2012 Aston Martin Virage has already begun with pricing expected to be between the $180,000 DB9 and $266,000 DBS.
