Aston Martin Vantage
Sports CarProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Aston Martin Vantage is a compact luxury sports car in production from 2005 to 2018. It was available with a range of V8 and V12 engines that displaced 4.3 to 5.9 liters.
The little brother to the DB9, the Vantage (not to be confused with the Virage-based Vantage, which was the flagship) is an entry-level option in Aston Martin's luxury GT lineup. Still, it used Jaguar's V8 engine in the V8 Vantage at launch. From 2009, Aston also introduced the V12 powering the DB9 to the smaller vehicle. To many enthusiasts, the V12 Vantage was the most exciting and collectible model.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 300L (11cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Aston Martin Vantage comes with double-wishbone suspensions at all four corners.
