This is called the N430 in the European market.

 

It's the best "normal production" Aston Martin product ever produced in my opinion.  I'd even argue it's better than the 2015-2018 Vanquish.  Which is a nice car, but that car is not a sports car, not especially sporting to drive, and doesn't have dry sump lubrication.  I still like that 2015 Vanquish and I've got a friend who's owned one since new - he's supposed to let me know if he plans to sell.  The main difference between the N430 version and other versions is that steering rack and suspension was reworked.  In a normal test drive, the difference is subtle.  But in a drive in mountain roads, that difference is immediately noticeable.  Plus, this is one of the few "normal production" Aston Martin vehicles with a true dry sump lubrication system.  Even the V12 Vanquish has a wet sump.

I completely agree with you! But, on this car, I'm confident it's a genuine aerodynamics need. I look forward to hearing an interview with one of the chief designers........

Exactly :)

and it doesn't hurt to be aesthetically cohesive on a car that expensive 😁....

It's not exactly elegant.

Hmm. I kind of just want to go back to a 2015-2016 Vantage GT (N430 in some markets) V8 with that green color and yellow lipstick. I liked the way that car looked and I liked the way that car drove. The last couple years of the Vantage with the GT model h... 

Might go for a 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish...

But then those don't have a real dry sump lubrication system. It's not a car one can really GO on a mountain road quickly. Not that in USA one can go anywhere on any road very quickly.

True. But still not as elegant as a 2015/6 Vantage.

Which has dry sump lubrication too! I'm not sure if this new one has it. The new Vantage does not have it.

Here's a bunch of photos in this link...

bringatrailer.com You might find the color a little tasteless. I rather like it. You know me, I'm normally pretty subtle in person. But I do find the yellow accent to be "in the spirit" of Aston Martin. ...
