A fully complete example that is on the button and ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
About This Model
Ever since the nameplate launched in the 1950s as an upgrade to the DB2, Vantage has been synonymous with performance. Since then it has become Aston’s flagship sports car. Its continued success in World Endurance Racing, as recently as 2017’s GTE Pro category class victory at Le Mans 24 Hours, has underpinned Aston Martin’s racing DNA.
That pedigree is resolutely honed for performance and contemporary style.
The heart beats with a 4.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine to produce that visceral Aston Martin roar, while its strong backbone of aluminium delivers exceptionally sharp and agile handling.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and a speed of up to 195 mph deliver raw athleticism and an enticing performance feel.
Like the archetypal hunter, everything has been finely tuned for a purpose. Masterfully, Aston Martin’s closely guarded principles
of purity and beautiful proportion remain uncompromised. Sculptural forms create an athletic predatory stance, while muscular flanks and broad haunches express the agility and dynamism inherent to the car.
The distinctive cockpit feel is consequential of its character. A lower driving position creates a more immersive driver experience, with controls like the newly designed sport- orientated gearshift paddles optimally positioned. The gear selection buttons have been uniquely placed in the centre console, with the Aston Martin Audio System, 8″ LCD screen and integrated satellite navigation all impressively reconfigured to focus around the driver.
