UNVEILED IN DETROIT
Vehicle: AMV8 Vantage
Model year: 2005
Manufacturer: Aston Martin
Wheelbase: 2600 mm
Length: 4347 mm
Width: 1874 mm
Height: 1298 mm
Engine: 4.3 liter all alloy V8

What the automaker says: 'The AMV8 Vantage is a tailored two-seater sports car that retains a front mid-engine/rear-wheel drive layout. Its design work was undertaken by Henrik Fisker, Aston Martin's Design Director, and his key objective was to produce a thoroughly modern Aston Martin. Another aim was to ensure that the interior layout and equipment were unique to Aston Martin and could be easily carried over into the production car. There are also a number of traditional Aston Martin design cues which have been incorporated into the AMV8 Vantage's styling such as the front grille shape and the typical side strakes found on all Aston Martin models.'

What you should know: The design of the AMV8 was overseen by Henrik Fisker, whom Aston Martin hired away from BMW after Fisker's work on the Z8 roadster. Although Fisker wanted to create a vehicle that broke the typical Aston Martin design mold, he incorporated several Aston Martin cues, such as the grille and front quarter-panel openings seen in recent vehicles. But he insisted that the design not revert to the past.

Πανεμορφο ειναι η γνωμη μου.

Η εταιρια δεν λεει ακομη ποια ειναι η ακριβης ιπποδυναμη. Οι φημες καλουν για 400 αλογα ομως. Ειναι σιγουρα περισσοτερα του 911 σε οποιαδηποτε μορφη του λεει η Μαζερατι, αρα οταν το GT3 παει μεχρι και 380...θα ελεγα οι φημες ειναι σωστες. Anyway, μ'αρεσει να βλεπω ανταγωνισμο σε πευτχημενα αυτοκινητα. Οπως το 911.

Ρε παιδιά,λυπάμαι αλλά θα διαφωνήσω.Τα Aston είχαν πάντοτε μια αρχοντιά και στόχευαν στην στο συντηριτικό/αριστοκρατικό κοινό της Μ.Βρετανίας και με αυτά τα στοιχεία το κρίνω.

Σίγουρα,το design είναι φοβερό και οπωσδήποτε κουβαλάει ορισμένα από τα στοιχεία της εταιρίας πάνω.Γιατί όμως Αμερικάνικης αισθητικής; Ήδη το Zagatto ήταν too much.Το συγκεκριμένο Vanquish μου φέρνει σε Pontiac πίσω και Viper μπροστά.Είναι κρίμα,μιας και η Bentley εγκατέλειψε και αυτή το έντονο Βρετανικό look.Thank god τουλάχιστον για τις TVR και Lotus.Σταθερές αξίες.

Ποιος ειπε οτι ειναι Αμερικάνικης αισθητικής;

Σε αυτο το σημειο μπερδευτηκα για το τι ειπε ο gmak.
