This week, Aston Martin takes us to Belgium and one of the most famous track in Europe, Spa, for the dynamic preview of their new Vantage.
Even though it’s brand new, even though its filled with all the latest technology, the new Vanquish hasn’t got enough character for our tastes. But the little Vantage has all its bases covered, all of its boxes ticked, even though it’s what… 9 years old now.
The V12 Vantage S is the car that actually deserves to be called a flagship of the range. Thanks to an updated engine that produces delivering 565 naturally-aspirated horses, as well as 475 lb-ft (644 Nm) of torque, it’s the fastest Aston in the range, looking for another 100 km/h to devour after it’s had the first in under 4 seconds.
Yes it’s an old chassis, but we have the utmost respect for it and what it’s accomplished in its old age.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
