The Vantage may be the entry-level member of the prestigious Aston Martin family, but it stands out with head-turning looks and a ferocious demeanour. Under the hood is an AMG-sourced, twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine that delivers 503 horsepower and 505 pound-feet of torque through an automatic transmission. Given the Vantage’s light weight, acceleration from 0-100 km/h is achieved in just 3.6 seconds, while top speed is rated at 314 km/h.
