If you have never experienced the breath taking beauty and excitement of an Aston Martin, you are letting all the good things in life pass you by. Besides having one of the most striking body designs ever to grace the automotive world, the Aston Martin Vantage is a thrill to drive. The 4.7 liter V8 makes the most incredible sound of any car on the road and provides enough acceleration to humble even a seasoned sports car veteran.

On the outside, the car is finished in Stratus White, which is a metallic white that sparkles beautifully in the sun. As all Aston Martin paint jobs, it is flawless with no orange peel anywhere on the car. Since I bought the car, I also had cQuartz Ceramic Paint Sealant applied to the car, which has a 5 year warranty. This alone was a $1000 treatment. 19 inch machined finish aluminum alloys are fitted with sticky Bridgestone Potenza tires. The windows have been coated with the highest quality Wincos tint for maximum heat and UV rejection.

Open the door and the rich smell of leather is the first thing you notice. Not one square millimeter of the interior is made of vinyl or any other simulated leather. Every surface that looks like leather IS leather, and not the kind of cheap stuff you see in every Japanese car on the road either. Aston Martin uses only the best leather in the world. Accented with white contrast stitching, the interior on this car is absolutely the best you will find.

Take a look at the image of the original window sticker on the car for a full list of standard and optional features. The MSRP on the car was just under $144,000, making this your chance to get a practically brand new car for a huge discount. After some recent inexplicable buying decisions on my part, I somehow ended up with 4 two-door cars. I need at least one vehicle that I can get more than two people in, so this one must go.

Next Aston Vantage will be the only way to get an AMG V8 with a stick

Tue, Mar 29 2016

With only a few exceptions, most of them factory customs, AMG hasn't built cars with manual transmissions. It just isn't the way things are done in Affalterbach. But now that Mercedes's in-house speed shop will be supplying engines to Aston Martin, the world will be treated to cars with three pedals and overengineered German V8s wrapped in a pretty British package. We're into it. The news comes from Car and Driver, which spoke to Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer about the new Vantage among other things. Palmer confirms to C/D that the Vantage will continue to offer manual and automatic transmissions when the next-gen car arrives featuring the AMG 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. In its most potent form, the eight-cylinder makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque in the AMG GT S. Figure on a little more from the Aston-ized version, just for fun. The current V8 Vantage GT makes 430 hp and 361 lb-ft from its naturally aspirated 4.7-liter. While some may lament the new engine's forced induction, that added power and the thoroughly modern behavior of the AMG engine should be welcome. While the AMG V8 is currently only planned to go into Aston's entry-level car, C/D does mention a possibility of it (and perhaps its three-pedal transmission) making its way into other cars as an economy option for certain markets. If a V8 DB11 were to be offered, don't expect it to show up here, though. There's also no word on who will supply the manual for the AMG-Aston mashup, but it likely will be a transaxle like the current Vantage. Ex-factory manual AMGs aren't totally unprecedented. Pagani has built some three-pedal cars with its massaged AMG V12s. Compared to those, however, these manual Vantages can be considered mass-production cars. And really, any increase in the number of sticks mated to AMG engines can only be a good thing.

Spectre shreds $37 million in cars

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Much as you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, you apparently can't film a James Bond movie without trashing a few cars. And by "a few cars," we actually mean $37 million worth. That's how much the producers of the all-new 007 flick, Spectre, trashed in the process of filming. And yes, that's a record. "We set the record for smashing up cars on Spectre," stunt coordinator Gary Powell told The Daily Mail (with what we can only imagine was a very boastful grin). "In Rome, we wrecked millions of pounds worth. They were going into the Vatican at top speeds of 110 [miles per hour]. We shot one entire night for four seconds of film." But because this was Bond, producers didn't just destroy $37 million worth of budget hatchbacks. Instead, seven out of ten specially produced Aston Martin DB10s were sacrificed in the name of cinema, including a major crash sequence featuring Rome's Colosseum, River Tiber, and the Vatican. American filmgoers will be waiting until November 6 to see if the destruction of all those Aston Martins was worthwhile. Somehow, we don't think anyone is going to be disappointed.

Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.
