Up for grabs in our showroom in Houston, TX is this sleek & sexy
2006 Aston Martin Vantage. Many automakers have tried to design
sports cars to take on the seminal Porsche 911. Success has been
elusive. The latest automaker to give it a shot is Aston Martin. In
the midst of a revival, the brand hopes its all-new 2006 Aston
Martin V8 Vantage will be the 911-slaying silver bullet. The new
Vantage is possibly the only car in the world that can make the
gorgeous DB9 look less than perfect. As a sculpture, the V8 Vantage
is one of the most stunning sports cars of all time; the body is
tautly stretched over the 102.4-inch wheelbase with minimal
overhangs and the fenders cover the 19-inch wheels with devastating
sensuousness. The windshield is fitted into its one-piece aluminum
frame at such an extreme angle that the car's profile is
practically ballistic. The Aston's firepower comes courtesy of a
4.3-liter V8 engine. Although a handful of components are shared
with V8s used by Jaguar (the two share parent company Ford), Aston
says its engine is very much its own. It develops 380 horsepower at
7,300 rpm and 302 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. By introducing
a dry-sump oil system, Aston's engineers have been able to mount
the engine low in the chassis. It also sits behind the front axle,
so this is very much a front-mid engine car. The weight
distribution is a respectable 49-to-51 percent front to rear. The
2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is an exotic sports car with a
hatchback design. It comes standard with 18-inch wheels wearing
235/45ZR18 tires in front and 275/40ZR18s in back. Inside, the
Vantage comes with leather upholstery, automatic climate control,
power seats and a six-disc CD changer. Many optional features are
also available. These include 19-inch wheels, HID headlights, a
navigation system, upgraded leather upholstery, a premium audio
system, heated seats and a variety of different wood or metallic
trim interior highlights. Though other sports cars costing
considerably less money can match or better the Vantage's
straight-line performance, none, with the exception of the Porsche
911, can provide such an enjoyable and exotic driving experience
overall. On a curvy road, the Vantage moves confidently. It slides
progressively and returns to its intended path with little drama.
The 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is what it looks like: a seriously
fast sports car that delivers on the promise made by its wide
tires, gorgeous sound and svelte proportions. This low mileage (43k
miles!!) car is in like new condition and it ready to hit the road.
James Bond made these car's famous and now you can be just like
him! This silver bullet 911 eater is ready for a new home. The car
is loaded with every option available and is in excellent
condition. Car has a clean Carfax upon request. Also have service
records by the current owner. To see many more HD pics & an HD
