Aston Martin President Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: “It speaks volumes for the outgoing Vantage that it is the single most successful model in Aston Martin’s history. Creating a worthy successor has been a challenge to relish and a huge source of motivation. I’m enormously excited by what we’ve created: a new Vantage that’s more explicit in looks and intent, wrapping heart-pounding performance and dazzling dynamics into an everyday usable package. A true sports car with a sharper look and a keener dynamic edge, the new Vantage is the Aston Martin pure driving machine enthusiasts have been waiting for.”
The Vantage comes with a lot of equipment, which includes Parking Distance Display, Park Assist and front and rear parking sensors. Inside the car the Entertainment system is controlled and displayed on a 8 inch LCD screen. The entertainment comes with Aston Martin Audio System, Bluetooth audio and phone streaming, iPod, iPhone and USB playback. There is also sat-nav and a wi-fi hub. The interior is all made from alcantara leather and is on the seats and dashboard.
The power of the Vantage is Aston Martin’s new alloy, 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine gives off 503bhp. The Vantage sends its massive power and torque to the rear wheels through a rear-mounted ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The Vantage is able to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 3.6 seconds and it has a maximum top speed of 195mph.
