Early adopters of Facebook knew the secret was out when they started getting ‘friend requests’ from mum and dad, but now Aston Martin has jumped in to inject a dose of cool into the Facebook landscape.

Brand new images of the vicious Aston Martin V12 Vantage have made their way onto the British supercar marque’s Facebook page, supplementing the official studio photos revealed back in February.

With a 6.0 litre V12 shoved into its chest, the V12 Vantage makes 380kW and 570Nm of torque, delivering a 0-100km/h sprint in about 4.2 seconds.

Top speed hasn’t been specified, but a number higher than 300km/h seems likely.

It’s a sign of the times, really. When you were a little fella, you tacked photos of your favourite cars to your bedroom wall – now you upload them to your Facebook wall.
