You’ve gotta love Aston Martin. While the rest of the world is pairing down their power plants and ditching heavy-breathing muscle, the company that’s supplied Bond with his wheels for the past few millennia just announced it will show off a V12-powered Vantage at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Rock. The motor is the [...]
A little while back, Aston Martin upgraded the V8 in their Vantage from a 4.3-liter block to 4.7 liters. As you can imagine, owners of the smaller, less powerful mill were none too happy about the change. Usually that just means there’s going to be a brand new batch of low-powered Vantages up on eBay [...]
One of our favorite tuners has turned its attention on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The result is a slew of aero bits for one of the sexiest supercars out there. The kit includes a new front skirt, side enhancements and a carbon fiber spoiler for the rear of the car. There’s also a sharp [...]
Seems like just yesterday reader John R was wondering just what Jay Leno was smoking when he said Ford saved Aston Martin. Looks like an Aston Martin owner discovered what exactly Blue Oval salvation means. It’s well known that FoMoCo swapped and traded parts from the family bin into the high-dollar sports cars, most of [...]
Yeah, yeah — using pictures of Aston Martins for POTDs is like shooting fish in a barrel. Plus we’ve done Astons before. And so what? How can you not like this image? In fact, I’ve personally used this picture before and stumbled across it when I was image searching for the earlier post about Aston [...]
Actually the problem is that the worlds’ wealthiest are still buying Ferraris. But my (admittedly snarky) point still stands. The cheapest Aston Martin one can buy — the V8 Vantage — will ding your pocket to the tune of $119,000. That’s a bit more than half of what the average American home sells for. Add [...]
One of my all-time most favorite cars is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Oscar India. It just so totally rules. With that in mind, today’s news that Aston Martin is (probably) reviving the Lagonda brand got me thinking about a very rare, yet incredibly spectacular car — the Aston Martin Lagonda V8 Saloon. That’s it [...]
Where should I start? First of all, Aston Martin made a slight boo-boo when they named a car “V8″ and then stuck a V12 in it. Second of all, Autoblog is calling it the “Vantage V12″ while Motor Authority is referring to it as the “Vantage V12 RS.” Third, AB’s claiming 600 horsepower while MA [...]
Flat black rigs are a dime a dozen, so it’s about time someone decided to balance the scales of light and dark. And who better to pick up the light side of the battle than Aston Martin. Feast your eyes on their Morning Frost Satin White V8 Vantage (satin being Aston Martin speak for flat). [...]
