2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Base Hatchback 2-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
As a collector of fine/exotic automobiles, I chose this specific year/make/model/transmission for it's importance within the brand and it's "updated and refreshed" exterior/interior.
the Vantage Coupe Having been out for a few years (previously using a 4.3L setup) 2009 was the launch of the bulletproof 4.7L engine (still in use today in 2014 models)... this engine change also included a full interior change (a proper key was swapped out for a genius and iconic "fob in the dash" system...) while the fob in the dash is cumbersome for the problematic "Sport Shift" models it is very easy to use and enjoyable in the Manual Transmission models. The Manual Transmission being the best transmission offered the 2009 with it's updated engine/trans/starting system also got an entirely new user interface (same as currently used in 2014 models) which included a much easier to use Navigation, and entirely new temperature control interface. These Interfaces are problem free and easy to use.... Mechanically the 09 has numerous other updates that are easy to notice and appreciate and honestly having 20+exotics I would never purchase any year older than 09 because of these important changes. This Vehicle Has the Following Options from the Factory, "Paint to Sample" Vertigo Blue Paint. Full Obsidian Black Interior (Which "thick" white stitching) 6 Speed close ratio manual Gearbox Navigation iPod Integration (in Center Console) USB Audio Integration Parking Sensors Power Folding Mirrors Dimming Rear View Mirror Silver Brake Calipers Xenon Headlamps Premium Sound Package Bluetooth Serious XM Radio (With LIFETIME Subscription) Factory Sport Suspension Factory Sport Exhaust Full Alcantara Headliner (A, B, & C Pillars. Rear Hatch Cover) Extras: From Factory vehicle comes w/ 2 Black Key Fobs, I purchased the $2200 optional "Crystal Key" used on the $250+ Models and had programmed at dealer to work (Includes 3 keys total) Currently sits on Pirelli All Season Tires (1 Week old), Includes NEW Factory Spec Performance Summer Tires as well. |

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
What does Aston Martin have planned for the name Aeroblade?
Wed, Dec 23 2015Aston Martin is working on something called Aeroblade, and the company recently filed a trademark application for the name. According to AutoGuide, the paperwork suggests the name could be used for a component, not for a model designation. The word indicates some kind of aerodynamic element, potentially in the form of an adaptive wing like those seen on the McLaren 650S, Bugatti Veyron, and so many Porsches over the years. Deployable spoilers allow a sports car to keep the airflow clean and undisturbed in some conditions and generate extra downforce under others. The use of the Aeroblade name for a component makes more sense than an actual model name. Aston typically starts its nameplates either with the letter V (as in Vanquish or the Vulcan pictured above) or DB (as in the current DB9 or forthcoming DB11). It has been known to make exceptions – like in the case of the Rapide four-door coupe or Cygnet city car – so we could be in for a surprise. The British manufacturer of luxury vehicles is working on a new generation of models to replace its current lineup. That includes a new platform to replace the aging VH architecture and a new engine under development with Mercedes-AMG. It's also working on bringing its first crossover to production, as previewed by the DBX concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Related Video:
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato expected to fetch over $16M
Tue, Oct 13 2015Classic car collectors will want to head to New York on December 10. That's where RM Sotheby's will be holding its Driven by Disruption sale, with some of the most desirable pieces of automotive history on the docket. And arguably the most tempting of them is the 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato pictured here. The start of a long and distinguished partnership between Aston Martin and Zagato, the DB4 GT is considered by many (ourselves included) to be one of the most beautiful automobiles ever made. You can judge for yourself after looking over the images in the gallery above. Only 19 were originally made, of which this, the 14th example, was the only one delivered new to Australia. After undergoing a complete restoration in 2002, chassis number DB4GT/0186/R won first-in-class awards at both Pebble Beach and Villa d'Este. RM hasn't published pre-sale estimates for how much it expects to get for this one, but in correspondence with Autoblog, a spokesperson for the auction house revealed that "it is expected to fetch in excess of $16 million USD when it crosses the podium in December." That would eclipse by order of magnitude the prices fetched at auction for previous examples in recent years, which (according to the records at Sports Car Market) have traded hands for around $2.5 million. Of course, the Aston isn't the only classic automobile consigned for the event. With two months still to go before the auction takes place, RM has confirmed a 1955 Siata 208S Spider that's expected to fetch upwards of $1.5 million, a '53 Ferrari 250 Europa (~$4 million), and a '38 Bugatti Type 57C Atalante (>$2 million). Fans of more modern and rare equipment, however, may be more enticed by the Lamborghini Concept S previously announced for the auction, expected to go for as much as $3 million.
