Future models - Aston Martin - Vantage - V8 VantageGeneva show: Aston Martin reveals special duoRead my lips: The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430 features an optional Club Sport Graphics pack that adds a lipstick-like look to the grille. Aston Martin revs up V8 Vantage and DB9 with special editions to be shown at GenevaGallery![]() Click to see larger images 20 Feb 2014 ASTON Martin has transplanted the uprated 321kW V8 engine of the Vantage S into its standard Vantage as part of a package of extras for one of two special-editions to be released at next month’s Geneva motor show. The limited-edition V8 Vantage N430 – which refers to the vehicle’s brake horsepower output – will come in Coupe and Roadster guises, also gets carbon-fibre and Kevlar sports seats and 10-spoke forged alloy wheels, which combined make for a 20kg weight saving. Other additions to the cabin include unique seat trim patterns, N430 seat logos, machined carbon sill plaques, black-magnesium paddle shifters, Alcantara seat and door inserts and a leather steering wheel with contrasting stitching. But the main attraction is likely to be the 4.7-litre 321kW/490Nm V8 powerplant that can blast the N430 from zero to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds. This powerplant drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed “close-ratio” automated manual transmission. Aston has given the exterior of the V8 Vantage a dark theme, with a black finishes on the grille, headlight bezels, side window surrounds and tailpipe, while a Club Sports Graphics pack is available as an option, adding two-tone contrasting paintwork with “lipstick” around the grille that references the CC100 concept the company revealed last year. The British sportscar-maker will also show the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White at Geneva, featuring carbon-fibre side strakes and window surrounds that contrast with the strong base body colours and red brake callipers. The dark theme continues for the DB9 in the cabin, with carbon-fibre details and Carbon Black or White sill plaques, while the all-alloy 380kW/620Nm 6.0-litre V12 engine from the DB9 maintains its 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.6 seconds from the regular model. European deliveries of both variants commence in September, but Aston has not revealed production numbers for either of the special editions. ![]() Read more29th of May 2013 ![]() Aston Martin adds ‘S’ appeal to V12 VantageFaster and more powerful, but no manual gearbox for Aston Martin V12 Vantage SAll future models![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vantage pricing
