Vantage Point

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S
The Vantage is getting more and more powerful by the moment. Last year, we saw the V12 Vantage take form. This year, the V8 Vantage is adding an S to its mark to signify that it's now more powerful. And I really do mean more powerful. The last Vantage had 420 horsepower. This one has 430, a 10 horsepower increase from the last one. 0 to 60 is now done in 4.4 seconds with a new top speed of 189 MPH. This trumps the last generations speed of just 183 MPH. This speed is achieved thanks to Aston Martin's new 7-speed ShortShift II semi-automatic transmission. The car also borrowed some lightweightyness and stylings from its big brother, the V12 Vantage. The V8 Vantage S will be available in coupe and roadster versions...
