AMV8 Vantage

Order yours quick - there's going to be one hell of a queue!

Well if Lotus doesn't release a new Esprit when I'm ready, I know where I will be heading...

Cheers

re styling
IMHO it looks to similar to the DB7 and derivates. It lacks the bulldog spirit from its predecessors

[squirrelz]

Is it a 2 seater or a 2+2?
(not that I can afford one )

[Plotloss]

Quite simply astounding. A truly marvellous automobile. I simply must have one.

Now, where can I get £60K...

Are they going to make an SUV version I wonder? Bull bars, spray on mud ...

Great looking car. Will be interesting to hear how it handles and what the transmission is like. Fingers crossed.

2 seater. Click on the bottom picture and look into the interior...

Edited to say: Allow me to correct myself - it's a two seater ONLY. Ran across some additional info on the net...

When are they going on sale?

If I can't have a TVR, this may be the next best thing!

Gorgeous looking car! Here's hoping the actual production version will not differ too much from it!

Is that 4.3 litre V8 a derivative of the Jag V8?

MDG.

[v8thunder]

Told ya - it's a revival of the V8. And damn fine it is too.

[marki]

Stunning , Delicious ,,,, yummm ,,,,,, what a beautiful looking car

[johnwilk]

Superb...I think I might become a convert if the price is genuine and I can fit in the thing...TVR Tuscan gives me adequate headroom but the previous Aston I tried my head was wedged against the roof! No chance of adjusting the seat either.

[apache]

oooohh, sweeeet, any pics of the rear? this is a beauty

[Graham B]

Stunning looking car.

Remember reading in EVO (I think) that they were surprised AM didn't make it a 2+2. Apparently the American market usually requires a 2+2.

What's an additional 60 grand on a mortgage these days?!?

[manek]

What a gorgeous looking machine.

I'll take one!

According to the press release it's an all new unit exclusive to Aston Martin.

[williamp]

That's the best news I've heard all year. A while ago I bought a number plate from the DLVA specifically to sell to some city type when this car was launched.

V8 VTG.


Can't wait to start advertising. Does anyone know how much I think I shall advertise it for??

STUNNING....Letter of intent sent to AM..roll on 2005

[rich1231]

My letter was off last week.
Only negative thing is that it is rumoured to be only 320bhp.
