It will land in May in its main markets. It is the second model of the Andy Palmer era after the DB11.

The British manufacturer Aston Martin will start delivering the first units of the new Vantage in May, in its main European markets. Most likely, Spanish customers receive their orders for this vehicle in June. The basic price of the Vantage is 127,411 euros.

If we add 21% of VAT and 14.75% of the Registration Tax, since it emits 245 grams of CO2 per kilometer, the payment amounts to 173,000 euros. To this we should add the options. The Vantage is the second model of the era of Andy Palmer, the current CEO of the company, following the launch last year of the DB11.

The Aston Martin Vantage mounts an eight-cylinder engine in ‘V’ of origin AMG (Daimler), which could be seen for the first time in the Mercedes-AMG GT. On this occasion, in a variant of 510 horses. It will be associated with an eight-speed automatic gearbox ZF, located in the rear position. With this weight distribution, the ‘boxer’ Vatange gives 1,530 kilos on the scale.

This mechanics allows a 0 to 100 km / h in 3.6 seconds and a speed tip of 314 km / h. Its approved consumption is 10.5 liters, although this is a fact that its future owners are not going to take too much into account … To fully squeeze the power of this beast, we must take into account its Skyhook adaptive suspension, with up to three cushioning programs (Sport, Sport Plus and Track). Also a rear electronic differential, the Pirelli P-Zero tires and a vector torque distribution system that a priori completes a high dynamic level.
