The specificities of vampire's skin make me think of carbon nanotubes; suppleness, strenght (like diamond) and like it, it can sparkle in sunlight (that property make it a componant of today's TV flatscreens). The diamond start to burn at 850 °C in air so it explains vampire's weakness to fire if their skin is made of carbon nanotubes.I'm sure that energy weapons (laser, particle projected cannon and plasma rifle) will be a lethal menace to them contrary to the standart bullet.

Strenght, Speed, Endurance with No need to sleep. Twilight's vampires look more like bioengineered living weapons of fear from a science fiction univers than undeads of horror shows. More, their cold temperature and inert heart are linked. We need our heart to pomp blood to carry oxygen (and to cast out dioxyde) to every cell of our body to help combust sugar (glucid) to maintain constant our temperature of 37,2°C because all our biochemistry work only by that number +/- 1°C. 95% of our alimentation may very well be used only to keep the fire of the furnace of our metabolism.

The mutagen capability of vampire's venom may permit to a metabolism to emancipate from those constraints. Thus no need to absorb glucids and lipids, no need to oxygen to burn them, no need for blood to carry them and in the end no need for a heart to pomp it.

You may say that no creature on earth can make the synthesis of carbon nanotubes to create a impenetrable shell for itself and that no complex creature on earth escaoe the necessities of a blood system. Yes, that true but as i stated up there, the twilight's vampire are being of a Science Fiction univers after all. The vampire primogenitors may very well come from an unseenable future (to escape armies with energy weapons for example) to a past with "unarmed cattles" to feed on.
