We’ve already talked about Aston Martin’s Geneva-bound DB9 Carbon Editions and now it’s time to get to something more serious for the Swiss event - the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430, offered both as a Coupe and a Roadster.
The latest addition to Aston’s racing-bred N series, the 430 sees the 4.7-liter V8 engine pushed to 436 HP at 7,300 rpm, the same level offered by the V8 Vantage S. Power can be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or an optiuonal seven-speed Sportshift transmission.
However, the special part lies in the car’s GT4 class inspiration, which brings it a weight reduction of 20 kg (44 lbs). This was achieved by using carbon fiber and Kevlar seats, as well as forged wheels.
And to make the V8 Vantage N430 feel sharper, Aston Martin has tweaked the suspension, added a quicker steering, while heftier brakes and a sports exhaust are also included in the package. You get carbon details inside and out. while you can also choose between various liveries, as you can see in the gallery below.
In the UK, the Recommended Retail Price for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430 sits at GBP89,995 (EUR109,000 or $150,000).
