2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Convertible, Perfect Condition, Only 16k Miles on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8 convertible low, low reserve Perfect condition
2008 Aston Martin Vantage V8 convertible. It has the 4.3 liter, 380 horse V8
mated to the automated manual Sportshift transmission. It also has navigation,
factory iphone/cellphone integration, and all power options including doors,
trunk, windows, mirrors, and seats. This car is an absolute blast to drive
whether the top is up or down and Aston definitely hit the nail on the head
with the smooth V8 and exhaust note on these cars. Aston Martin is one of the
few cars out there today that are still hand-built and the extremely high level
of craftsmanship definitely shows in this car. The quality of the leather,
stitch-work and overall fit and finish that Aston Martins exhibit is truly
remarkable. An Aston Martin Vantage is not simply another luxury sports car
like a Mercedes SL, Corvette, Nissan GTR, etc... It is a rolling work of art
and a fine example of high performance engineering and quality British
craftsmanship. I assisted a good friend of mine in finding and purchasing
this car in the fall of 2010. He is the second owner of this car and has had it
most of its life at almost 4 years. I am a total car nut and have owned
everything from old Military trucks to Ferrari's and Porsche's so he has
enlisted my help to list it for him. Also, he lives in Tucson and there isn't
an Aston Martin dealership there so he would leave the car with me in
Scottsdale whenever he needed regular service. It is truly an amazing car in
absolutely pristine condition but rarely gets driven with only 16k miles so he
has decided to sell. It has never been driven in rain or bad conditions of any
kind and since we live here in Arizona and it was originally from Southern
California, it has never come close to seeing snow. The color scheme and wheels
is what originally drew us to this car and I think it really sets this Aston
apart from the other Vantages on the road. The exterior color is Tungsten
Silver Metallic with a black soft-top in perfect condition and a unique
two-tone black and saddle brown leather interior that all really do this car
justice. The wheels are custom TSW 19" with Bridgestone Potenza 235/40's
up front and 274/35's in the rear. Everything works perfectly and as it should
on this car and we have had all service work performed at the Aston Martin
dealership in North Scottsdale, although these are not pretentious cars at all
to maintain and do not require any outlandish servicing like many other
ultra-luxury brands. I also have the original Navigation DVD, manual, and 2 sets
of keys/remotes. Unfortunately, prices have slumped off on these cars in recent
months so we don't expect to get anywhere near Kelly Blue Book's current retail
price of $117,102 but it's at least good to know that even Kelly Blue Book
recognizes the value of these cars and of course, that number definitely
couldn't hurt if you ever wanted to finance this car. This Aston has been
meticulously cared for its entire life and has always been store in a climate
controlled garage. Ready to sell fast with an extremely low reserve so bid with
confidence. Call Dave for any more information or showings at 602-625-3283 |

The Windsor Castle Concours d'Elegance in pictures, courtesy of Bentley
Sat, 15 Sep 2012Bentley went to the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance as the main sponsor and showed off six of its best among the gathering of "60 of the finest motor cars in the world," including the 4¼-liter Bentley 'Embiricos' Special built for a Greek shipping magnate and gentleman racer in the 1930s.
Even better, for us at least, is that when Bentley decided to capture the moment it took pictures of most of the metal on the lawn, not just the Bentleys. Thanks to that, we have a high-res gallery that's home to rarities like the Vauxhall 30-98 Type OE Boattail Wensum Tourer, beauties like the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, long-tail Ford GT40, Maserati Tipo 60 Birdcage, Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato, a sinister Ferrari 250 GTO and the even more sinister Rolls-Royce Phantom Aerodynamic Coupe, among others. All you need to do now is click and enjoy.
Aston Martin Vulcan meets Avro Vulcan [w/video]
Mon, Oct 5 2015The Vulcan represents the very best that Aston Martin can do: a monstrous track car boiled down to its essence. But it's not the only Vulcan ever to roar out of the UK. Aviation enthusiasts will fondly recall the Avro Vulcan, an iconic jet bomber from the 1950s. There's only one such aircraft still capable of soaring through the skies, and now it's been brought together with its earthbound namesake. The Aston Martin Vulcan we already know, though not as well as we might like to. It's a track-bound supercar along the lines of the Ferrari FXX K or McLaren P1 GTR. But instead of a hybrid powertrain mounted amidships, it's got a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V12 up front and kicking out over 800 horsepower. Unfortunately only 24 of them will be made, so even if you venture down to your local circuit for a track day, you're still not very likely to see one up close. Even rarer, though, is the Avro Vulcan. Part of the Royal Air Force armory from 1956 to 1984, the Vulcan was a giant delta-wing bomber that measured around 100 feet long (depending on the version) with a wingspan just as wide. Of the 136 that were made, only one – Vulcan XH558 – remains in operation, courtesy not of any national military but of the Vulcan To The Sky charitable trust. But it's about to be put to pasture as the centerpiece of the Vulcan Aviation Academy & Heritage Centre at Robin Hood Airport (seriously) near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. Before Vulcan XH558 is retired, though, it's set to make one final flight. And in preparation for that historic event, it made a pass by Elvington Airfield for a brief – if distant – encounter with its namesake. The feat was pulled off purely for the photo op, so whether you're more into the car or the plane, you might as well check out the results in the gallery above and the brief video clip below. ASTON MARTIN VULCAN IN TRIBUTE TO ITS V BOMBER NAMESAKE 02 October 2015, Gaydon: As the last remaining airworthy Avro Vulcan prepares for its final flight later this month, the iconic 1950s British V bomber has been united with its modern namesake: the Aston Martin Vulcan. Vulcan XH558 – currently being operated by the charitable trust Vulcan To The Sky – is due to retire from 'active service' in October, going on to form the centrepiece of the educational Vulcan Aviation Academy & Heritage Centre at her home base, Robin Hood Airport near Doncaster.
Aston Martin-Red Bull 001 details: 175 units, $3M, 0-200-0 in 15 seconds
Wed, Oct 19 2016The Aston Martin AM-RB 001 is starting to sound like it will be the most extreme hypercar ever made. We're basing that on a series of new comments made by Red Bull Racing's resident aerodynamic genius and chief technical officer, Adrian Newey, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Dan Neil. Newey shared many interesting nuggets, so we'll try to provide a simple summary of how frighteningly potent the AM-RB 001 is. The new hypercar should hit 200 miles per hour in around 10 seconds, while a massive set of brakes will cut that speed to zero in half the time – in other words, zero to 200 to zero in just 15 seconds. That kind of stopping power sounds physically painful. Certain versions of the 001 will make up to 4,400 pounds of downforce, and if that's not enough to keep the car pasted to the pavement through 4G bends, Newey hinted that the active suspension will rely on the ground effect more than any other car. "I studied aero at the University of Southampton," Newey told Neil. "My final-year project in 1979 and '80 was on ground-effects aerodynamics applied to road cars and sports cars." Beyond the performance stats, Newey verified some of the broader questions about the 001's availability. For one, Aston Martin and Red Bull will build 175 examples of the potentially record-breaking hypercar, with 150 designated for road use and another 25 limited to the track – they're the ones that will enjoy the 4,400 pounds of downforce and full-on 4G cornering ability – so the chances you'll ever encounter a 001 in the wild are almost nil. And buying one? Plan on spending at least $3 million. Newey, along with Aston Martin Chief Designer Marek Reichman and Project Engineer David King, reveal more about the 001 in the piece, including some of the philosophical and design principles behind a $3M hypercar. It's very much worth a read, if you can get around the WSJ's pay wall. Related Video:
