Aston Martin V8 Vantage

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 

“Gorgeous styling, excellent handling, highly customizable, seductive exhaust rumble and roar, small production numbers ensure exclusivity, "cheapest" way to get into an Aston Martin.”

The V8 Vantage introduced in 2005 was intended as a more focused model to reach out to potential buyers of cars such as the Porsche 911 as well as the exotic sports and GT cars with which Aston Martins traditionally compete.

The only problem was the original version had underwhelming power and the 2008 upgrade was a big step forward critically with the larger 4.7ltr engine which now delivered a 4.7sec 0-100kph time

We think the following Car magazine quote sums it up - from our perspective while a 911 will ultimately always be a more capable car, the V8 Vantage will always be a more special drive and after all, isn’t that what owning a car of this nature is all about

“The big draw is the engine – upped from 4.2 to 4.7-litres – which at last delivers the performance that the looks promise. Also welcome are the chassis improvements, which strike a good balance between ride and handling without having to resort to twin- or triple-mode dampers.

All in, the V8 Vantage has been holistically improved without drawback. It has more character than a 911, more style than a BMW M6, more badge appeal than a Jaguar XK and a sportier edge than the Maserati Granturismo S.”
