	2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Aston Martin is now owned by Ford and this dinkiest division of the Blue Oval has put the resources of its parent to good use in the V8 Vantage.
		Assembled in Aston's engine workshop in Cologne, Germany, (as all current Aston engines are — there goes some Brit content right there) the V8's 89mm cylinder bores and relatively short 86mm crank stroke result in a nominal 4.3 liters of displacement (the 4.2-liter V8 in the Jaguar S-Type has 86mm bores and a 90.3mm stroke).
		Aston Martin makes its engine start button from a crystal, but that doesn't change the fact that since you have to stick the ignition key in anyhow, it would be simpler just to twist it to start the car.

	Aston Martin V8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aston Martin V8 is a two-door saloon-type automobile manufactured in the United Kingdom from 1969 to 1990.
		It was retired in favour of the Virage in 1990.
		A DBS V8 was to be used by Roger Moore in the television show, The Persuaders.

	Aston Martin V8 Vantage - RSportsCars.com
		The V8 Vantage is the second model to use Aston Martin’s unique VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture.
		The V8 Vantage is very much a pure sports car, so from the outset, the priority of Aston Martin’s engineers was to focus on a lightweight, compact size, agility and power.
		Deliveries of the V8 Vantage to customers in the UK and Europe will begin in late summer and in North America and the rest of the world by the end of the year.

	2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage - The Car Connection
		Aston faithfully stuck with the shape of the striking concept car it first rolled out on the auto show circuit in 2003.
		Aston's carefully tuned powertrain delivers a resonant baritone that has more in common with the classic American muscle car than the high-tech whine of a Porsche or Ferrari.
		Whether Aston will be able to convert loyal Porsche owners remains to be seen, but there are plenty of other aspirants who've got the money and are ready to move up.

		Aston Martin is hoping to strike gold with the V8 Vantage, its new rival to the popular Porsche 911.
		Aston Martin calls it VH (vertical-horizontal) architecture, because it's easy to alter the Vs and Hs to make a different car.
		The V8 fires with a confrontational woof, and settles to a burbly idle.

		Traditionally an Aston buyer would have at least three other cars to fall back on when the Newport Pagnell product failed to start but the Vantage is the first one cheap enough for it to be bought by the sort of person who only needs one car.
		The Aston’s aluminium construction keeps the weight down to just over 1,500kgs and the 4.3-litre V8 produces a healthy 380bhp and 302lb/ft of torque, figures that the Porsche just wouldn’t be able to match without the power upgrade kit fitted to our test car.
		The way the Aston looks, sounds and feels is just in a different league to the 911 which may cost the same but is indistinguishable from the standard car which is £20,000 cheaper.

		Worse, this aluminium has corroded slightly and needs to be reattached to an Aston Martin, a car where they've paid special attention to panel fit and surface finish....
		An "Aston Martin paint finish" brings up a picture of craftsmen with years of experience spending a very long time creating a finish that is near to perfect.
		This is ROJ (a 1974 Mk III V8).

	VWvortex Forums: Aston Martin V8 Vantage @ Geneva
		Aston Martin's intended rival to the likes of the Porsche 911, it will be more accessible than either the new DB9 or Vanquish S, though of course, these things are relative.
		AM says that the V8 Vantage has undergone "the most extensive test and development programme in the company's 91-year history", with 78 prototypes doing over 1.5 million miles; hot-weather testing was done in Dubai, cold-weather testing up in the Arctic Circle in Sweden and track testing at Nardo and the Nurburgring.

		Aston Martin’s engineers have worked with Ford Research and Nottingham University to develop RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) composite panels, using unique processes and materials, resulting in composite panels and extremely high surface finish.

		The engine, unique to Aston Martin, is positioned ahead of the driver, but well back in the chassis.
		The interior is all Aston Martin, with much of the styling for the switches and instruments derived from exclusive watches and premium audio gear.
		Aston Martin hopes to go head-to-head with the Porsche 911 with its new V8 Vantage, but has no plans to match production numbers with the German sports car.

		The Aston Martin Lagonda was of it's time - a classic 70's wedge; you either love it or hate it (and I unashamedly adore the Lagonda).
		The range was completed in 1978 with the elegant V8 Volante and after a gap of eight years, AML could again tempt customers in the lucrative US market with a stylish convertible.
		Performance of the V8 Vantage in particular was equal to many other late 80's supercars and demand remained strong in the buoyant market for Astons and other prestigious classic cars.

	2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage - Automobile Magazine
		The V8 Vantage is the third sports car from the company since Ulrich Bez took charge.
		But in terms of sense and sensibility, the V8 Vantage delivers the full Aston Martin experience in a way that is positively addictive.
		While even Aston aficionados find it hard to tell a Vanquish from a DB9 and vice versa, it is more difficult to confuse the V8 Vantage with its bigger brethren, except when you meet one head-on or try to keep up with its voluptuous behind.

		The baby Aston is based on the DB9, with a shorter wheelbase and a 380 hp 4.3-liter V8 instead of the 9's V12.
		The V8, based on the Jag V8, is good for sub 5 second zero to 60 times and a 170 mph top speed.

		According to reports, this car is the best Aston Martin ever, and judging from the pictures and specs, I can't seem to disagree.
		Is it just me or does Aston M need to vary a little its cars, man they all look exactly the same...vanquish, db9 this one, its like "man we have a good car design" and they use it for everything now.
		v8 vantage and db9 kinda look alike but not the vanquish...either way they all do look good.

		But a Lotus, although British, is not a sufficient alternative to an Aston Martin.
		The result is a V8 saloon; an Oscar India car that you are expected to believe is the Volante with a closed roof - this is of course impossible - but hey, it's only a film.
		The car is illustrated here when it was photographed on a visit to the Aston Martin factory at Newport Pagnell.

		Aston claims 0-to-60-mph acceleration in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 175 mph.
		For now, there's a six-speed manual transmission, but Aston boss Ulrich Bez says that a paddleshift sequential manual is in the works, "but not in the next twelve months." The car has all around control arm suspension, giant ventilated disc brakes with four-piston monoblock calipers, and standard eighteen-inch wheels and tires, with optional nineteens.
		We knew on the evidence of the previous concept car that the Vantage would look gorgeous, but the interior is also a treat, with aluminum accents, hand-stitched leather, and optional wood trim in walnut, mahogany, bamboo, and piano fl.

		As our images show, the lightweight V8 Vantage's styling is influenced by Aston's DBR9 Le Mans racer, with a low splitter and gaping air intakes supplementing the trademark grille.
		To improve the power to weight ratio further, Aston is likely to raise the output of its 4.3-litre V8 from 380bhp to 420bhp, thanks to an uprated variable valve timing system, a higher 8,000rpm rev limit and a performance exhaust.
		In the meantime, a convertible V8 Volante is likely to debut in 2006, with sales starting later in the year.
