These are the last of the traditional, hand formed Aston Martin cars. They are full of delightful small details reflecting the bespoke craftsmanship of their manufacture. The build quality and attention to detail are a constant source of delight. When this is also complimented by the extraordinary performance that the Vantage 550/600 can give, it makes for a truly memorable motoring experience that can be enjoyed by four adults in comfort. After almost 20 years in production, Aston's V8 had been replaced for the 1990s by the Virage then followed by the Coupe which was a consummate fast tourer. This left room at the top of the range for an out-and-out sports tourer, hence the Vantage. Although the two models appear superficially similar, beneath the skin the Vantage chassis boasts the kind of extensive re-engineering required to cope with the massive increase in performance. The latter comes courtesy of a blown version of Aston's 5,340cc V8 with twin mechanically driven Eaton superchargers being preferred to turbo-charging on the grounds of superior throttle response. Quite apart from its stupendous maximum output, remarkable enough in itself, the engine is monstrously torquey, producing 550lb/ft at 4,000rpm. On the open road, performance is just as expected from a beautifully well-maintained Aston Martin V8.
