The mighty 6.0-litre V12 engine of the V12 Vantage Roadster produces 517hp at a wailing 6,500rpm, backed up by a punchy 420lb ft of torque at a rather peaky 5,750rpm. Believe us, despite its size, it really gives its best when revved hard. As if you needed an excuse...

I don't think "nice car" is really a fair description Johnnyfl! Curb your enthusiasm why don't you?
I was lucky enough to be given an Aston Martin driving experience at Goodwood as a present, it was the V8 version though, not this lovely monster of a powerhouse.
It was just a tidal wave to my senses - I love the incredible beauty of the Aston design and the Vantage is stunning to look at, a privilege to sit in, touch and feel, truly awesome to drive and phenomenal to listen to.
It probably smells and tastes astounding as well, but that would be a bit too weird......probably....

So why does an aston martin atricle attract all these adverts for "dating" and "mature" singles? Is there a problem with Astons causing lonely people? Is it in the manual?
MSN please block these it makes a nonsense of genuine responders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a shame the retractable roofs a soft fabric and antiquated, where's the retractable metal Aston Martin this is a missed opportunity to shine, and for the price I certainly wouldn't want the noise this soft top will generate.

drool ! give me one . please !

just bloody stunning,what a mota.

Best view is from front and side, not sure about it's @ss. Would still love one but would probably need to vector into the cost of having your own mechanic, as a person I met at the golf club who owned an Aston, got sick of visiting the garage for repairs and chopped it for a Bentley Continental GT. If you can afford multiple cars, no problem.

An Aston I'd look smart-in. Get it? Aston Smart-in?... I'm too funny.
