New Aston Martin Vantage V8 2dr Auto Review
Category: Sports car
Section: Version review
The Vantage is Aston Martin’s best sports car to date, providing a thrilling drive and a classy interior. It’s not quite as capable on the limit as a Porsche 911, but there’s no doubt the Vantage provides a great sense of theatre for the money.
The trim

The engine
See full engine specsThe Vantage's 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine is sourced from Mercedes-AMG but has been reworked to produce 656bhp and 590lb ft of torque. That’s enough to get it from 0-62mph in 3.5sec and on to a top speed of 202mph. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
