Awesome styling and great noise as well from what I've heard on videos. Not quite as good looking as the DB9 but then you'd have to do something pretty special to out do that. Seems very heavy when you consider the weight of a Porsche 911 for instance though. Saying that, Aston are supposed to be a luxury brand so maybe we should expect the extra weight due to it being better equipped/upholstered?

Thx for the pics TT, good looking car with great performance, the only thing I don't like about it is the price Here its almost as much as a Gallaro.

Hm, interesting. thanks for the pics TT. I dunno if i'd say i'm "sold" yet. I really liked the way the concept looked, and even tho i've yet to compare them side by side, this somehow looks different.... wheels and something in the nose and lights. db9 is more beautiful IMO. i'll have to wait for some more pics. and dang, these brits are heavy...

Default New AM V8 Vantage pictures
Aston Martin organised a special viewing of the new V8 Vantage for British dealers, so these pictures weren't supposed to be made public. The car was going to be unveiled at the Geneva show. It looks fingerlicking good! Not too sure about the yellow though...

Wow the car looks gorgeous. I've seen smaller versions of the pics before, but no explanation was given about where they were taken. Thank you very much for the info and pics

And is that a supercharger I see sitting on top of that V8? Mmmmm....

The interior looks so much similair to the Db9. Should turn out to be one of the greatest cars in the history of motorcars. It has to be after all the fuss it's created

That car is over at Dubai..

The car look stunning.. but I the rims don't look very good and if the tail light are black or smoked black it would look a lot better IMO.

In my opinion the interior should have been distinguished from the db9 otherwise a pretty good car.
