Aston Martin Vantage

The 2010 Aston Martin Vantage ranks 2 out of 6 Exotic Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 46 published reviews and test drives of the Aston Martin Vantage, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The 2010 Aston Martin Vantage combines aesthetic perfection with superior performance engineering. It may not be the fastest or most powerful exotic sports car, but it’s a superb handler and a wonderful piece of art to behold. "Those who think a Bentley Continental too mundane and a Lamborghini Gallardo too ostentatious might find the Aston Martin Vantage an ideal choice," writes Consumer Guide.



Borrowing its name from the 1970’s-era Vantage, the 2010 model is a lesson in automotive accomplishment. In fact, few exotic sports cars come close to matching the 2010 Aston Martin Vantage's unique balance of distinguished handling, drop-dead gorgeous looks and everyday practicality (its trunk is rather large for an exotic sports car).

The 2010 Aston Martin Vantage's design isn’t revolutionary and it doesn’t break any performance records, but taken as a whole it provides unparalleled levels of satisfaction. "[A]t an estimated price of $120,000 for the coupe, it carries a balance of gorgeous design, hand-built charisma, and outright performance that is tough to beat," writes Car and Driver. Adding to the allure of the 2010 Vantage is Aston Martin's exotic aura -- especially in the United States, where the automaker's vehicles are still rare.

Aston Martin DBX

Aston Martin DBX uses the company's 6.0-liter V12, but claims 70 more horsepower than the DB9--520 in all. (Torque is unchanged at 420 pound-feet.) Numerous tweaks liberate the extra ponies, but the main one is a freer-breathing intake system with computer-controlled air-box valves, plus a larger under-bumper front air intake. Curb weight drops about 140 pounds by replacing metal with carbon fiber for the hood, fenders, and door-mirror housings. C-F is also fashioned into a new front air splitter and a rear air diffuser that promote high-speed stability. How fast will it go? Aston quotes 191 mph, about five mph up on the DB9.

As Rolls-Royce would say, that's "adequate" for a 3737-pound sports-luxury coupe with all the comforts and a cabin trimmed in leather, suede-like alcantara, and carbon fiber accents. Off the line, the DBS hits 60 mph in a claimed 4.3 seconds, a half-second faster than Aston's big, burly V12 Vanquish coupe. Other changes include a wider track, 20-inch wheels (replacing 19s) within subtly bulged fenders, hefty carbon-ceramic disc brakes cooled by dedicated body ductwork, and a grille with five horizontal bars instead of seven. The DBS also gets a redesigned dashboard center stack with more ergonomic controls, a likely update for other Aston models in due course.

Aston Martin DBS

Aston Martin unveiled the most eagerly anticipated car of the year the new Aston Martin DBS at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 16th 2007, where the company took a starring role as the featured marque. Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez, said: "The Aston Martin DBS is the ultimate expression of Aston Martin's engineering and technical ability. It offers pure performance without compromise. The Aston Martin DBS delivers the complete driving experience and bridges the gap between our road and track cars - the Aston Martin DB9 and Aston Martin DBR9."

Equally at home on a twisting mountain circuit as on the open road, the DBS is a true thoroughbred. The Aston Martin DBS is a 6.0-litre V12 powered, race-bred, two-seater shaped by the aerodynamic demands of high performance, with an exquisite interior that marries beautifully hand-finished materials with the very latest in performance technology.

Aston Martin DBS
A combination of elegant design, innovative manufacturing processes, race-derived materials and components and Aston Martin's unrivalled hand-build expertise makes the Aston Martin DBS a luxury sports car without equal. Every line, crease and curve conveys the enormous potential of the Aston Martin DBS, a seductive blend of refinement and raw power, provided by the hand-built V12 producing 380kW (510bhp/517PS), a top speed of 191mph (302km/h) and a 0-62mph (0-100km/h) time of 4.3 seconds.
