Aston Martin sports cars: British understatement at its best
Aston Martin has been one of the most illustrious names of all British sports cars for decades. And not without reason: the finest materials, a beguiling design, and the preservation of the old brand values know how to inspire Aston Martin’s customers newly.
The brand with the winged logo has always manufactured luxurious sports cars and naturally has a weakness for athletics: In addition to the recently released first SUV – the Aston Martin DBX – the model portfolio also includes several Aston Martin sports cars and is currently being expanded continuously.
Aston Martin sports cars in detail
The Aston Martin Vantage
With the Vantage, Aston Martin started an attempt in 2005 to completely reopen the world of entry-level sports cars, which had previously been dominated by Porsche & Co. The traditional British brand launched the Aston Martin New Vantage on a new platform in 2017. And the result is more than sensational, both for the trade press and sports car fans. A futuristic, but immediately recognizable, design skillfully combines the tradition of bygone days with modern technologies and marks the dawn of a new age.
Alternatives of the Aston Martin Vantage
The basic model of the Aston Martin sports car is available both as New Vantage Coupé and New Vantage Roadster. Both variants are powered by a four-liter V8 Biturbo engine that was developed by AMG. Both the Coupé and the Roadster have an agile rear-wheel drive and a modern dual-clutch transmission, as befits their standing. A model specially optimized for the racetrack is the Aston Martin Vantage AMR, which exudes motorsport flair with its 6-speed manual transmission and various performance optimizations.
