एस्टन मार्टिन विंटेज 2011-2019 के स्पेसिफिकेशन

Aston had sold more than 5000 cars for the first time since 2008 and was on course to declare a phenomenon that so few of the company's proprietor's have consistently known profitability. Aston?s punishing tide of aggregated losses year after year had finally turned. Now consider that happened while the most successful and biggest selling the individual model in Aston's history, the V8 Vantage, was in effect in running out. Has the time finally come to lay to rest that infamous quip of 1980s chairman Victor Gauntlett, that the only way to make a small fortune out of Aston Martin is to start with a large one. The subject of this week?s road test, the all-new Vantage, should offer an answer. How much more quickly can Aston?s fortunes are transformed than is currently happening, you might wonder. Is this the car to deliver lasting stability for its maker as well as short-term success. And if it really is to be the bedrock on which that grand transformative 'Second Century plan is built, is it good enough to withstand the pressure. The new Vantage, which is set to remain Aston's entry-level model for the foreseeable future, certainly seems to have been forced into the spirit of ambition. Making the switch from an atmospheric V8 engine to a significantly more powerful and much more torque-rich turbocharged V8 from strategic partner Mercedes AMG, it adopts Aston?s new bonded aluminum platform and has the most purposeful mechanical specification of any Vantage to date

Hear the word supercar and usually, Lamborghinis and Ferraris will come to mind. However, some cars are made for everlasting looks and full of character. Aston Martin Vantage is one of those vehicles that emphasize the innovative engineering capacity. The dazzling razor sharp design is quintessential of beauty with clean curves made from carbon fiber. The front facet features the iconic grille with company's badge on it, surrounded by sleek looking halogen headlights. The hand-built design shows that the car is visually advance in its age. The rear is finished with the gorgeously looking LED taillights. The feel-good factor comes while sitting inside the car with most expensive materials including wood, metal and carbon fiber spread across the cabin. The leather sports steering provides the perfect grip while the overall ambiance looks like luxury and warmth have been suffused brilliantly. Beneath the hood, the mighty V8 is the source of power that drags this machine to test the road capability. With the support of 420 horses, 470Nm of torque and the 7-speed Sportshift-2 transmission that channelizes power to the rear wheels, the supercar dashes from 0-100kmph in less than 4.8 seconds with the ability to reach the top speed of 290kmph. The company has also revealed the next generation model which features hardcore design and a slew of updates. But the sheer exceptionality and heck of the engine note can only be determined by actually driving the car in real life.

Amongst the third life cycle update of V8 Vantages only one truly stands out and that is the addition of the S trim level. Take what you get from the previous generation V8 Vantage and modify the intake, exhaust, and ecu to make slightly more power and torque at 430 HP and 361 lb-ft of torque. The focus of the V8 Vantage S is sharpness, so the steering rack was made quicker and the suspension and chassis components were stiffened with harder bushings and springs.The 2015 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a rear-drive sports car available in coupe or convertible body styles. Powered by a 4.7-liter V-8 rated at 420 hp and 357 lb-ft of torque in the base model, the car produces 430 hp and 361 lb-ft in the S and GT variants. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmission. Gas mileage isn?t a strong point at 13/19 mpg city/highway with the manual and 14/21 mpg with the automatic. For those looking for more power, Aston Martin?s V12 Vantage has a larger engine.Despite being seven years old, the V8 Vantage remains a solid performer with plenty of power and two excellent transmission choices. The seven-speed automatic, which was added in the 2011 model year, improves performance with faster, more refined shifts; however, it lags behind competitors with gearboxes that are even quicker and better sorted. Handling, on the other hand, is another strong point thanks to the car?s impeccably tuned suspension and excellent grip levels, which allow it to stay planted during spirited driving. It doesn?t sacrifice ride quality in favor of agility. Aston Martin offers an extensive list of customization options with more than a dozen exterior colors and interior color combinations in leather and Alcantara, four wheel designs, and contrast stitching.Aston?s ability to inject a touch of theatre to an interior appears in the Vantage, with copious use of top-quality wood and metal, all arranged in a pleasingly pared- down fashion. There?s plenty of space for two adults and luggage, making the Vantage a surprisingly practical car and an honest, usable daily driver, and various upgrades to the satellite navigation and other electrical systems mean that the baby Aston feels at least on the pace with technology. It can feel a bit dark and cave-like, but you?ll forgive that every time you glance back at the car as you walk away; it really does look great.Every new variant chips value from the previous generation, with early cars now at very reasonable money. The Vantage apparently suffered from some electrical gremlins at the start, now solved, and residual values are generally good for low-mileage, well cared-for cars. Be aware that you?re talking about an Aston, though, so group 50 insurance and 35 per cent tax on everything (CO2 figures aren?t the best, with the basic V8 being 320g/km), with equally wilting servicing costs.The V8 Vantage?s best trait is its ?feeling of indestructibility? thanks to its ultra-rigid aluminum structure and a proven powertrain. However, the new seven-speed automatic transmission is a weak point since it doesn?t feel as refined as competitors? units even with the Sport mode.
