Stunning design from
Aston Martin
ASTON MARTIN has lifted the lid on two stunning new models which can be ordered now.
Okay, you might have to have won the Lottery to get one, but if you do you won't be disappointed.
The first is the V12 Vantage Roadster sports car which is powered by a 6.0-litre engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and generates 517bhp at 6,500rpm.
Performance is phenomenal with the 0-62mph sprint dispatched in just 4.5 seconds while this most potent Aston Martin Roadster is capable of 190mph.
The V12 Vantage Roadster features a redesigned rear boot lid and lower front air plus a number of chassis revisions. These include a modified rear damper set-up, front and rear damper valve tuning and a new rear spring design.
How much? It comes in at £150,000.
The ultimate in V12 Vantage Roadster personalisation includes a package of interior trim comprising carbon fibre fascia and carbon fibre gearshift surround is available.
The second stunner to come from the company's Gaydon factory in Warwickshire is the new Vanquish.
This storming motor has a significantly upgraded 6.0-litre V12 engine pumping out 573bhp. It's capable of 0-62mph time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 183mph.
