The Production V8 Vantage Was Introduced At The Geneva Motor Show In 2005 For The 2006 Model Year. The Two Seat, Two Door Coupe Had A Bonded Aluminium Structure For Strength And Lightness And With The 4.3 V8 Power Delivery, Created An Instant Hit With The Motoring Press And Excited New Owners, However The Introduction Also Gave Porsche A Few Worries. These Are Seen As Great Drivers Cars, But Still With The Advantages Of A Relax Driving Position And Of Course The Characteristic Aston Martin Flair. On The 25th Of January 2011, Aston Martin Released The V8 Vantage S, Designed To Produce A More Sporty Driving Experience Than The Entry 4.3 V8 Vantage Model, With This All New Offering To Include An Improved 4.7 Aluminium V8. This Produced A Rather Healthy 430 BHP With A Torque Value Of 361, Which Would Easily Accelerate Both Driver And Passenger From 0-62 MPH In Just 5.0 Seconds And Climb To A Massive Top Speed Of 189 MPH, With All This Power Available On Tap, With Or Without The Canvas Convertible Roof In Place. As Part Of These Newer Improved Model Came The Introduction Of The Sportshift II Gear Transmission, Which Was An Option Over The Manual Box, With This Automatic Version Having A Seven Speed Sequential Gearbox, Which Does Work Perfectly On A Combination Of Driving Conditions And Experiences. The Vantage S Makes Several Leaps Forwards In All Sorts Of Directions, As The Car Is Sharper And More Refined; Quicker Yet More Civilised; Better To Listen To At Full Exhaust Chat, But Still Less Intrusive When At Lower Speeds. Today The Vantage S Roadster Is Still Viewed As Being An Excellent Alternative To The Porsche 911 Equivalent, With New Buyers Demanding A Perfect Past History Trace, Vehicles That Are Indeed Presented In Tip Top Total Condition, The Inclusion Of High End Factory Options And Highly Desirable Colour Configurations, So With This We Are Delighted To Have This Spectacular Example Become Available On Our Current Vehicle Inventory.
