This is the new Aston Martin Vantage, the latest model in Aston’s resurgence. It’s a brawny two-seat sports car with an aluminium substructure, and a 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged AMG V8 engine under the hood that powers the rear wheels. Subscribe now: http://smarturl.it/autocar
If that, plus the 50:50 weight distribution, sounds like a pretty sweet handling set-up, you should see how the Vantage smokes its tyres around the Portimao race circuit. But it’s a roadgoing sports car, too, so we’ve tested it thoroughly on decent roads as well as on track. Plus we take a look deep under its skin, in the most in-depth Vantage video online.
Aston wants it to be better than a Porsche 911? Can it manage that seemingly implausible feat?
