Aston Martin Launches Revised V8 Vantage for 2010

Aston Martin's V8 Vantage is already deemed one of the most proportionally perfect sportscars on the market, so the British automaker would be wise not to mess with it too much. Fortunately they've kept the revisions mild as reports surface of an update for the 2010 model year.

The 2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage benefits from new tail-lights, side sills and mess inserts for the exterior vents, plus a new list of optional equipment: 19" forged aluminum alloy ten-spoke wheels, lightweight carbon-kevlar seats and a 1000-watt Bang & Olufsen stereo system.

They've also cut the car's carbon emissions (down to 315 g/km for the manual transmission and 300 for the Sportshift), and the order books are reportedly open now ahead of deliveries beginning early in the new year.

If you're on the market for an Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster but looking for something a little more exclusive, the V12 version may be on its way, but the Robb Report can help you right now. The luxury lifestyle magazine has teamed up with Aston Martin to create this very limited edition of the two-seat convertible especially for the magazine.

The special edition is characterized by its all-black color scheme. The exterior is black. The fabric roof is black. The interior upholstery is black. Even the veneer trim panels are black. In fact the only thing that isn't is the deliciously contrasting white top-stitching on the black leather. Only seven examples will be made – individually numbered from 001 to 007 (very Aston Martin of them) – and sold at a $23k premium for $153,000 each.

Elite LMV/R gives the Aston Martin Vantage an Attitude Adjustment

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

When Aston Martin turned its entry-level V8 Vantage into the top-of-the-line V12 Vantage, they went the decidedly understated route with the car's styling: a few extra air vents here, some more aggressive spoilers there.... And good thing, too, because the Vantage is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars on the market. But some may be looking for something with a bit more visual attitude. So along comes Elite with the LMV/R. Starting with the base Vantage, the LMV/R adds a serious dose of testosterone with its widebody carbon-fiber panels. Only 30 examples will be made, with a handsome sticker price of $173,000...plus the cost of a stock Vantage.
