* Paint – 9/10. Beautiful Jet black paint deep and rich in color. Smooth as silk to the touch throughout. Detailed regularly. Only some very minor specking in front of the rear wheel wells which is very common and only visible when up close.

* Headlights, taillights, windows, and mirrors – 9.5/10. Clean headlights with 3M film protection, taillights clear with no chips or scrapes. Tinted power windows in great condition with no peeling or discoloration. No chips, scratches, or concerns with any windows or mirrors.

* Front bumper, grille, and splitter – 10/10. Front bumper like new with no nicks or scrapes.

* Rear bumper and diffuser - 10/10. Rear bumper like new with no dents, nicks, or scrapes. Upgraded carbon fiber rear diffuser looks amazing compared the original and is in perfect condition. Lots of compliments. Still have the original rear diffuser and is negotiable with purchase if interested.

* Side skirts – 10/10. Upgraded OEM V12 side skirts provide an updated and more aggressive overall look, were paint matched with install, and are in perfect condition. This is a much sought after upgrade and was close to $3000 installed (have receipts). Still have the original side skirts and are negotiable with purchase if interested.

* Wheels and tires – 9/10. Upgraded OEM 19” Sport Pack wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. These beautiful 5 double spoke forged alloy wheels were first available on the Vantage with the N400 special edition in 2008 and were later made available as part of a dealer-installable Sport Pack for all Vantages. These wheels are silver with diamond-turned faces which makes them iridescent in the sunlight. They are commonly regarded as the most beautiful wheels available for the Vantage. Wheels are all in excellent condition as you can see in the individual pics. Tires have plenty of grip with 7/32nds remaining or approximately 70%. 235/40/19 fronts, 275/35/19 rears.

Driver’s seat has no stretching or sagging, or any scuffs, scrapes, or tears that you will usually find with others. Firm, supportive, and comfortable. Passenger seat looks like new.

* Dash – 10/10. Perfect condition. Originally had a small pull in the leather on the front of the dash which is very common, but had that fixed with my initial purchase.

* Door panels – 9.5/10. Excellent condition with none of the typical scuffs, scrapes, or nicks in the arm rests from the seat belt hitting them that you will find in many others.

* Headliner – 10/10. Alcantera headliner in perfect condition.

* Center Console – 9.5/10. Center console in near perfect condition with no cuts or scrapes. Updated with 3M carbon fiber wrap for a more distinctive look. Can be removed with ease if you prefer the original look.

* Door sills – 9.5/10. Door sills in excellent condition. Updated with 3M carbon fiber wrap for a more distinctive look as you will see in the pics. Originally did this as an easy test to see if I liked the look before buying the actual carbon fiber sills, and decided to save the $$$ and still keep 90%+ of the look. Very happy with them, but can easily be removed if you prefer the original look.

Aston Martin to keep the faith with V12, manual transmission

Wed, Mar 11 2015

Downsized engines and dual-clutch transmissions may be the way the industry is heading, but Aston Martin is more deeply rooted in the past than most. Which could explain – at least in part Β– why the British automaker is planning on sticking with V12 engines and manual transmissions for the foreseeable future. After speaking with Aston's new chief executive Andy Palmer at the Geneva Motor Show last week, Car and Driver reports that Gaydon is in no rush to get rid of the building blocks that have made it what it is today. And that means continuing to evolve its VH architecture, twelve-cylinder engine and six-speed manual gearbox. The company is working to develop a new platform and is collaborating on a new twin-turbo V8 with Mercedes-AMG. But those are still several years out, and Aston doesn't plan to wait that long before rolling out new models. Before the new AMG-powered Vantage is ready, C/D reports that Aston will introduce the replacement for the DB9 that will still be based on the VH platform and pack an evolution of the company's ubiquitous and long-serving 6.0-liter V12. "That platform was definitely far ahead of its time," Palmer told C/D. "It should have been described as a modular architecture, like [VW's] MQB or one of the other systems big manufacturers have adopted. We're always making excuses about it being an old platform, but if you were to compare the original VH platform to today's there's an enormous transformation. And it's a great way to build cars in the volumes that we do." The platform and the engine aren't the only old-school technologies Palmer is intent to keep. While Ferrari and Lamborghini do away with the manual altogether, and even Porsche goes PDK-only on the 911 GT3 and GT3 RS, Aston isn't giving up its clutch pedal any time soon. "I would love to be the last car manufacturer providing stick shifts in the U.S.," said Palmer. "That's my hope, we will keep the faith." Of course part of that could come down to Aston not having a dual-clutch transmission to offer, while its antiquated sequential gearbox lags behind the times. But it will likely gain access to Mercedes transmissions along with the engine deal.

Watch Prodrive build an Aston Martin race car in 60 seconds

Tue, Mar 8 2016

It's always fascinating to watch a racecar's production whether the construction is out of Lego blocks or a cutting-edge mix of aluminum and carbon fiber. This time-lapse clip offers a glimpse of the latter as Prodrive creates an Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE in just 60 seconds. The process took nearly three weeks in real time. Starting from just a bare shell, you first notice bits of wiring, suspension, and brakes appear on the chassis. Then the engine eventually arrives, but there's still a lot of work to do. The builders keep adding body panels and do lots of other wrenching. The process reminds us of building a plastic model kit but with much more expensive consequences if parts go missing. The #98 Vantage GTE will compete in the GTE Am class this season in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Drivers Paul Dalla Lana, Pedro Lamy, and Mathias Lauda are the lucky folks who get to pilot this beauty.

Tesla loses top communicator Simon Sproule to Aston Martin

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Looking for a new job? Have experience working in a frenetic environment, promoting cutting-edge mobility products for a demanding boss determined to change the way we travel on this planet, as well as how we trek to others? We hear Tesla Motors just might have an opening for such a person. Again. Simon Sproule, the electric automaker's vice-president of communications and marketing is vacating his cubicle after a mere six months in order to become the chief marketing officer (CMO) over at Aston Martin. That position had gone begging for a year until this appointment. Once he's settled into his new digs, Sproule will again be breaking rock with former Nissan associate Andy Palmer who himself recently took the top spot at the British luxury marque. The move comes at what seems like an inopportune time for Tesla. It has a big D product announcement – suspected to be an all-wheel-drive update of the Model S Β– scheduled just two days from now and the reveal of its "mass market" Model ? early next year. The company declined our offer to comment on the situation. Aston Martin, on the other hand, should be happy to finally have someone at the marketing helm, what with the recent dropping of the veil from its Lagonda sedan and what's likely to be a bevy of new product built on its forthcoming platform.
