Aston Martin Vantage
While we wait for a fully electric variant slated to arrive by mid-decade, the Vantage continues to rely on a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 developed by Mercedes-AMG. In this application, the German engine puts out an impressive 503 horsepower. Not bad at all for Aston Martin’s entry-level model. Still, very few people can afford it since pricing starts at around $175,000. If you like open-top motoring, a convertible model is also available.
