2017 Aston Martin Vantage GT8.

Oct 01, 2024,05:34 AM

Here is one of my favorite, the AM Vantage, with its 4,7 V8 Engine, delivering 446 HP. It could be a bit lighter, though, as if the mx speed is great ( 306 Km/h ), the 0 to 100 is good but not spectacular for such a car: 4, 4 seconds.

You know what? I don't really care. If I had this car, I would be on the moon for the rest of my automotive life.

Best,

So you see? There is a possibility to get one at a lower price than the one you are considering. :))) Well, lower yes, but not a bargain.

A pretty little car this one. I think the later ones were not so pretty

Same for me.

Yummy

With spoiler (or 'rear-wing'), or without. Chk

Agreed. I prefer without these spoilers. Or at least, some more discreet.

Before the adaptation of launch control this was a decent acceleration…

By: KMII : October 1st, 2024-05:59

For a RWD car. The goalposts have changed since but even so I do not think that many owners would use launch control daily 😉

No need for a launch control, in my opinion.

By: amanico : October 1st, 2024-14:14

I agree 👍🏻

But as it brings pub bragging rights everyone does it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Correct.

It's a nice car, but I don't think it would handle well on the moon.

I will tell you when I test it. :)

That’s the thing about Aston…

By: myles721 : October 1st, 2024-06:30

but to your point…who cares..😎

Heavy? Well, the 911 doesn't do better in terms of weight.

That wing makes it a little silly to drive it on city streets...

By: patrick_y : October 1st, 2024-14:06

But the wing makes perfect sense for driving to and from the racetrack.

Agreed.

By: amanico : October 1st, 2024-14:15

Awesome!

By: Aquaracer1 : October 1st, 2024-14:17

I’d love to hear that V8 through its paces !

Oh yes, me too!

By: amanico : October 1st, 2024-14:33

With this wing it should be faster imho...

By: mdg : October 1st, 2024-17:38

...and a true GT doesn't need to be blisteringly fast. Fast enough, but comfort and the ability to eat up miles is also a big part of it.

Depends on the downforce. It may be the contrary. But you are right about a true GT. And it doesn't need a wing, in this case.

Gorgeous Color and Car 😍 love this design

By: SALMANPK : October 1st, 2024-19:05

I really like this one, maybe a different color, 2009 4.7l V8 Vantage Roadster 6 spd Source: Bul Auto ...

Wiser and more elegant. But less cool. ;)

By: amanico : October 1st, 2024-23:15

Me too 🤗😇😁

By: SALMANPK : October 2nd, 2024-00:06

About what? Wise? I doubt so. Elegant, most probably. Less cool, certainly not. ;)

By: amanico : October 2nd, 2024-07:07

Hahaha 😆 oh Count 😅 you Win
