Think of an Aston Martin, and you can expect a line of powerful, dashing and smart sports cars. Of course, every car of this British automaker is a great model for driving, but the brand had nothing like a party - that's why the Aston Martin V8 Vantage appeared.
Aston engineers retained the proven 4.7-liter V8 engine according to plan, but reworked the air intake valve system and improved the spark strategy. These changes led to an increase in the amount of air in the engine at higher revs, as well as more efficient ignition of gasoline. All these factors cause an increase in power and an increase in efficiency.
With modifications came the engine, coupled with either a seven-speed automatic manual, or six-speed mechanics. It produces 361 lb-ft of torque and 430 horsepower. In addition, engineers expected the car to reach from 0 to 60 in just 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 miles per hour.
To ensure that the V8 stops and goes well, engineers got inspiration from the GT racing series and worked with a steering rack with a fast attitude and high-performance brakes. With the price held in the bottom slot, it is taken as the introductory model for this British luxury car class.
If you drive a V12 Vantage S Roadster, you may not feel comfortable driving a cheaper version or a less powerful engine. In addition, you do not expect him to offer a lively driving experience. You may find that your theories are wrong after driving this gorgeous car. Just a few shifts, and you get used to the heavy, but intuitively understandable grip, weight and straightness of the steering, positioning and lifting the gear selector and its grip. After a few minutes of driving, you will feel that you are not driving a simple car, but are driving a new appendage, and you will find that the car becomes a part of you.
To be honest, no other car would feel as intuitive as the V8 Vantage. Take this car behind the wheel, and you are not aware of the burden of driving a car. It provides excellent grip and can quickly shift gears. Control confidently and you can drive along the road without losing grip or control. Each component reaches perfection, and you will enjoy this experience.
The V8 Vantage preserves the inherited future and offers destination objects, such as any other Aston model - be it 2013 DB9, Volante or any other model.
