Aston Martin Vantage released

Andyk said:

Here is a more subtle looking Vantage V12S. What makes this one interesting though is that it has the expensive AMR power upgrade etc to 600 BHP which makes its a subtle GT12.

That’s about a £15k dealer fit upgrade and, according to general wisdom, not really worth it. The biggest change is the noise (I achieved more or less the same noise by removing the secondary cats). Keep in mind that the gearing on the GT12 is different as well - that’s where most of the change in acceleration times comes from.

Bamford Rose will do a similar power and exhaust upgrade job for less than half the price. Course, you don’t get the AM warranty.

Yep 100% agree Adam...Would pay for it as an extra but as this car has it someone else has taken the hit. But looking at the price they are asking 5/7k more maybe ?
