Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Following the launch of the new Aston Martin DB12 last year, it’s now the turn of the Vantage to benefit from Lawrence Stroll’s reinvention of the British marque. Jethro Bovingdon takes a closer look.

    Marek slapped the DBS when he took over from the DB9 team, but has been in the shadows since then. With the DB12 and Vantage, he has really announced his legacy at Aston. Both cars are going to age well and WILL be classics in the future. Shame about the engineering decision to drop the manual though. The new vantage with a manual gearbox would have been THE perfect car.

    M177 engine always had more power except Aston couldn't bump up the power before due to their agreement with AMG. It is only because an adjustment of AMG partnership that allowed them to tune it in house. The face lift on the other hand is trying too hard to build in the one-77 design element which the original vantage was not built for. The original Vantage based off the DB10 which is so much sleeker... It looks more nose heavy... Not to mention the lack of a manual makes this car fairly quick to become obsolete which is commensurate with the depreciation of AM cars right now...

    Everything on this facelift is great but it needed a buttlift as well. The rear bumper design is the same and well, the rear is just as important as the front because it’s what most drivers will be seeing. Maybe it’s just me but it seems to not flow with the rest of the car.

    Nup. It might be the best format for ultimate performance, but it’s not Aston’s thing - most of their cars have been front engined. Like 911’s are always rear engined - I also like the aesthetic of a long nose - mid engined cars always look awkward to me, and don’t excite me at all.

    That's a lot of car for the price compared to some brands, and it looks better than 95% of ALL sports and hyper cars, the biggest change for me is the interior, the extra power could always be added with a tune and other mods but you almost had to keep that old dated 2nd class dash and infotainment. I would take it over the equivalent Porsche anyday, the Porsche is a master piece but you see so many about nowadays, I'm just wondering how close to the £200,000 you need to get with extras, upgrades and add ons in the car configurator to get one that looks this good?? I'm sure this version here isn't base...

    Aston Martin/ most people need to change the way the view/promote the Vantage. It is no longer an entry car, it is the Sports version against the DB12 which is GT version. Yes, it might cost less, but it has a different vision and cost is cost. It looks great, the idea sounds great, but I agree, I will only buy one with a manual. You are cutting out a whole market and customer base.
