The V8 Vantage is Aston Martin’s newest two-seat sports car that bears a strong family resemblance to the DB9 and the Vanquish. The Roadster joined the Coupe for 2007. The interior is all Aston Martin, with much of the styling for the switches and instruments derived from exclusive watches and premium audio gear. The interior makes extensive use of leather and anodized aluminum, and the V8 Vantage features a full complement of custom-fitted luggage. The front-engine rear-wheel-drive V8 Vantage is aimed squarely at the Porsche 911.

Available as either a coupe or a roadster, the V8 Vantage N400 is powered by a 400-horsepower 4.3-liter V8 with either a 6-speed manual or optional Sportshift automated manual transmission. Sport suspension, lightweight alloy wheels with a graphite and diamond-turned finish, new rocker design, rear-light trim and Magnum Silver mesh grilles differentiate the N400. Interior enhancements include micro-spin alloy trim, perforated leather seats, available contrast stitching and a Nurburgring track diagram embroidered in the armrest.
