Product Overview

Aston Martin V8 Vantage (chassis code AM6) is a compact coupe in production from 2017. It is available with a Mercedes M177 bi-turbo hot-V8 engine that displaced 4.0 liters.
Compared to the last V8 Vantage that sold between 2005 and 2017, the new V8 Vantage has similar styling and is rather confusing to the consumer. The most notable difference is the new drivetrain.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2018) comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear.
