2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
In 2005 Aston Marin brought the V8 Vantage name back into production with a completely redesigned and reimagined car. While the Vantage name had referred to high-performance variants of the Virage in the past, this Vantage was a stand-alone model designed around en entirely different concept. Instead of a brutish muscle car, this new V8 Vantage would be svelte, agile, and poised with the high-performance Porsche 911 varients in its crosshairs. The new Vantage embodied the spirit of British motoring, with a 6-speed manual transmission as a standard option (though an F1 style sequential gearbox was a popular option) and the handling prowess to dominate any European B-road. Aston Martin designed the 4.3L V8 using the technology they had developed in their racing cars to optimize the weight distribution of the new Vantage. The mid-front mounted, 380 horsepower V8 sits incredibly low for a lower center of gravity thanks to the use of a dry-sump lubrication system. The 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage offered is an incredibly low mileage example, with only 10,752 miles on the odometer. The car has been religiously Maintained by Miller Motor Cars, where it was purchased when new, and comes with complete documentation. Everything about this Vantage is original, with no history of paintwork or accidents. The 4.3L V8 sends power through the highly desirable 6-speed manual gearbox and performs as if it was brand new. The deep silver metallic paint perfectly suits the hand-stitched marine blue leather and matching convertible top, creating the aggressive yet distinguished look that Aston Martin is so famous for. For the modern British motoring enthusiast, few cars are capable of offering the same style and substance.
