Whether it's the storied handmade manufacturing history, the very
British definition of luxury and performance, the multiple wins at
LeMans, or even the cinematic association with James Bond, there's
no denying Aston Martin automobiles hold a special appeal for
enthusiasts in search of an out-of-the-ordinary ownership
experience.The rarity of the marque-such that just catching sight
of an Aston Martin on the street is an event in itself-only adds to
the strength of the brand's appeal. The term "classic beauty" used
by Car and Driver to describe the Vantage is no exaggeration.
The 2007 Vantage V8 Coupe offered here is an exceptional example of
the Aston Martin breed. Most important, this Vantage was carefully
optioned and lovingly cared for by its original owner. At just
under 19,000 miles in all, it's easy to see that care evident in
everything from the pristine engine compartment to virtually
wear-free surfaces throughout the Obsidian-black-leather and
piano-black-veneer enhancements throughout the cabin. Other luxury
touches include the optional Aston Martin premium audio system with
Bluetooth, heated power front seats, and satellite navigation.
Perhaps most striking of all, the exterior sheet metal in Onyx-
black paint shows the fluid, sensuous lines of the car-from the
bespoke grille to the sloping rear GT roof-to their very best. Even
the brake calipers were ordered in optional black, and they show
nicely behind the also-optional seven-spoke alloy wheels. Rendered
overall in the classic color of the night, this is simply a
beautiful and rare automobile that will be admired everywhere it
goes.
From a performance standpoint, the Vantage begins with a
fuel-injected 4.3-liter V8 producing 380 horsepower and 302
pound-feet of torque stock. 420hp and 348lb-ft with upgrades. It
also produces what one reviewer called "anirresistible V-8
growl."This car further benefits from a dealer-installed Power
Upgrade package and Quicksilver sport exhaust. The engine's output
travels through a driver's-choice 6-speed manual transmission to
yield a 0-60 mph time of just 5.1 seconds. As to handling, Car and
Driver noted a surprise:"(Compared to the Porsche 911S) ...our test
crew preferred the Aston's handling, and also found it more
entertaining to drive." The Vantage, however, is no bone-jarring
execution of a sports car. It is a true luxury sports grand-tourer
that rewards a driver with a highly satisfying blend of on-road
performance, executive-level comfort, and Aston Martin style.
The car comes with documented service records from new, as well as
a hard-wired Passport SRX radar detector.
The fortunate next owner of this Aston will be someone who expects
the very best, and expects it in an automobile that makes a strong
visual statement. There is nothing here that will disappoint.
