2007 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 British motoring's spirit, with an all-new F1 style sequential gearbox 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 new Vantage's weight distribution. 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.
This 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is finished in a deep metallic silver over a subtle two-tone interior, a classic Aston Martin color combination that perfectly suits the coupe's muscular design. This three-owner west coast car is a testament to Aston Martin's 4.3L V8 engine, now showing 105,000 miles on the odometer. While many Vantages are seldom driven, this car was lucky enough to be the third owner's daily driver for the last seven years, over which time he added 99,000 miles. Thanks to his obsessive maintenance, always performed at an Aston Martin dealership, the car still looks incredible and is a beautiful driver. All mechanical and electrical features work as intended, and the 4.3L V8 surges forward with the same ferocity it would have when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed F1-style, paddle-shifted transmission. For the modern British motoring enthusiast, few cars are capable of offering the same style and substance. This car comes with a clean CarFax vehicle history report, showing zero accidents and all service in the last seven years.
