Aston Martin V8 Vantage gets Prodrive tweaks including 45bhp hike evo

Auto gearbox helps range-topping Aston find its true identity Cool car, the DBS. It just doesn’t know what it wants to be. Well, that’s not strictly true. It wants to be a 599 GTB, but its lazier V12 and DB9 architecture don’t allow it to pull off the hardcore front-engined sports car thing...

When are 380bhp and 302lb ft of torque not enough? When they emanate from an Aston Martin V8 Vantage... There's a lot to like about the 'small' Aston Martin: its looks, its ultimate pace, the agility that comes from its relative compactness. But the downside of its V8's revvability is a...

The speed trap never lies, at least not the one placed just before the braking area at the end of Paul Ricard’s legendary Mistral Straight. At more than a mile in length it’s the longest permanent straight at any European circuit, and given you join it via a fast left-hander you don’t need an...

Easily, without thinking twice, this is afaic absolutely the most beautiful car in the world! :bowdown: Nothing can come close. Ok, don't argue with me now about that, just post some pics. I'll start with these few i found at WCF: [image...

The Aston Martin Vantage becomes a convertible and gains a paddleshift. Does this new V8 Roadster work? By John Simister May 2007 This is a new kind of Aston Martin. It’s open, but it has just two seats and isn’t called a Volante. The V8 Vantage Roadster is clearly based on the V8 coupe, but...

This is a new kind of Aston Martin. It’s open, but it has just two seats and isn’t called a Volante. The V8 Vantage Roadster is clearly based on the V8 coupe, but its suspension is actually stiffer than the closed car’s. That could not have happened if there were worries about structural...

British 911 rival gets a paddle-shift semi-manual We knew all along that the V8 Vantage would soon get some form of clutchless gearshift option. But would it be a perked-up version of the DB9’s ZF six-speed automatic – Jaguar’s XKR shows how convincing that gearbox can be – or a robotised...
