What does it cost?
For The Aston Martin Virage is a beautiful car with a wonderful V12 engine and a variable set-up so that it can play the role of sports car or grand tourer.
Against Some may think it looks too much like every other Aston. Rear seats virtually useless, so delete them and go for more luggage space.
What Car? says
Sits between the DBS and the DB9 in the Aston range. The Aston Martin Virage can mimic either just by changing the suspension set-up at the touch of a button.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Aston Martin Virage (with the Vantage, DB9 and DBS) completes a quartet of V12 Astons, and sits between the last two mentioned. It therefore has to straddle the void between the hardcore DBS and the more touring-oriented DB9, a trick it pulls off remarkably well without straying too much towards either. That is in part thanks to a 10-stage, dual-mode adaptive damping system.
Meanwhile, the V12 engine is tuned for torque rather than outright power and is all the better for it.
As a bespoke hand-built car with a V12 engine, the Virage is expensive to buy and will continue to be expensive to run, but anyone looking at one of these will be expecting no less. The good news is that the desirability of Astons keeps resale values reasonably high.
