Seems to be a V12 Vantage S as it has the lightweight wheels.
Probably equipped with the Corsas, they're not so good in the rain.
Had an interesting moment with mine on the motorway too in the rain.
Accelerated gently out of corner in the outside lane which provoked some nice oversteer! On the dry, she's absolutely glued to the road but in the wet you certainly have to be very concentrated and quick in your reactions!

Freedom of the press http://www.maidstoneandmedwaynews.co.uk/ex-pro-rac... . I felt a mates V12 slithering about on Corsas in 3d too so its a good reminder to chill in the wet if you have these fitted. Glad no injuries here though - lucky.
Good that no-one was hurt.
Hopefully the car can go to Works Service and get rebuilt. If it's a V12VS then even if the tub is warped it will probably be economic to repair. New splitter, bumper, wings, bonnet, radiator and ancillaries, headlights and respray - say £25,000 for that. Add another £40,000 for a new tub. And then if the crash structures are gone then a few thousand for engine out and refitting.
Should be back on the road in six weeks if the tub is sound and Works have a gap to perform the work.

Curious to here other opinions and might just be me but I don't think publishing pictures of other peoples damaged cars is the correct thing to do...unless you have their consent then fair enough...
I'm fine with it. A gentle reminder to be careful. No reg plate is shown. kbooker said:

It was on the Kent Police twitter feed so should they have not published it???Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
