ASTON MARTIN
V8 VANTAGE
The V8 Vantage is a hand-crafted
sports car that offers electrifying
performance and outstanding agility.
The most affordable of all
Aston Martins, it fuses traditional
Aston Martin style and everyday
usability. The result is the world’s
most desirable sports car.
EXHILARATING PERFORMANCE
AGILITY, LIGHT WEIGHT AND
OUTSTANDING HANDLING
At the heart of every great sports car
is a great engine; and in the case of
the V8 Vantage, this has never been
more true. The V8 Vantage has a
powerful 4.3 litre 380 bhp (283 kW)
engine, unique to Aston Martin. This
is an engine designed by Aston Martin
for Aston Martin. Developed for flexibility
as well as outright performance, the
front mid-mounted V8 also delivers an
outstanding aural experience, as one
would expect of an Aston Martin with
a potential maximum speed of
175 mph (280 km/h).
Extraordinary engine power is not the
only reason for the superb performance
of the V8 Vantage. Just as important is
its lightweight, all-alloy structure, which
offers class-leading strength and rigidity.
The front mid-engined layout – the dry
sump lubrication system allows the
engine to sit low – and rear-mid
transmission help provide optimum
front to rear weight distribution as well
as a low centre of gravity. The result is
exceptional agility and inspired balance
and handling.
DYNAMICS V8 VANTAGE
POWERFUL, MUSICAL V8 ENGINE
THE HEART OF A GREAT SPORTS CAR
The V8 Vantage is a very fast
sports car. With 0-60 mph in
4.9 seconds (0-100 km/h in
5.0 seconds) and a potential
maximum speed of 175 mph
(280 km/h) its performance
figures are as heady as you
would expect of an Aston Martin.
Although there are many reasons
for this excellent performance –
light weight and efficient
aerodynamics among them –
the key is the engine, the heart
of any great sports car. This
new V8 has been specifically
designed and developed for the
V8 Vantage. Hand-assembled
at Aston Martin’s new, purposebuilt engine facility in Cologne,
Germany, it is a light, compact,
all-alloy unit – high-performance,
yet responsive even at the lower
end of the rev range. Its maximum
torque is an impressive 302 lb ft
(410 Nm) at 5000 rpm, 75 per
cent of which is delivered at just
1500 rpm – barely more than
idle – making the V8 Vantage
extremely tractable and great fun
to drive. Push harder, and that
V8 engine revs freely, delivering
refined, exhilarating pace.
True to Aston Martin tradition,
it is as musical as it is muscular:
an engine that entertains in
every sense. The bore and
stroke dimensions are optimised
to provide an excellent balance
between outright power and
torque, while a resonance
induction system improves
tractability and performance,
and contributes to that inspired
engine note. The inlet camshaft
timing also varies, improving
low-end throttle response and
mid-range torque in particular.
The exhaust system is highly
effective. Each bank of cylinders
features a four-into-two-into-one
manifold – an arrangement more
usually found on racing cars –
which improves breathing and
therefore performance. Special
bypass valves provide a quieter
exhaust note at low speed,
opening at higher engine speeds
to reduce the pressure in the
exhaust system, raise the power
output and provide a more
rousing accompaniment.
DYNAMICS V8 VANTAGE
CLASS-LEADING RIGIDITY
THE KEY TO DRIVING ENJOYMENT
AND GOOD HANDLING
The advanced body structure
of the V8 Vantage is the key
to its superb handling and
responsiveness. The uniqueto-Aston Martin all-alloy VH
(Vertical Horizontal) architecture
provides an excellent backbone,
while the use of sophisticated
materials such as lightweight
alloys, magnesium and advanced
composites for the body further
contributes to the car’s low
weight and class-leading rigidity.
The immense strength and
rigidity of this structure has a
number of benefits: it provides
a stable platform from which
the suspension can control the
car, gives the driver enhanced
control and feel, it effectively
increases the strength and safety
of the passenger cell and
improves build quality. For rivals
who use conventional materials,
boosting strength means
adding weight, which dulls
both performance and agility.
Aston Martin’s no-compromise
approach ensures the driver
gets not only a safer, sounder
car, but improved performance
and sharper responses, too.
NO COMPROMISE
JUST SUPERB AGILITY AND CONTROL
The light, strong body structure
of the V8 Vantage is perfectly
matched to the specially
designed fully independent
double wishbone suspension,
resulting in outstanding handling
and excellent ride quality.
Fundamental to its handling
capabilities is the fact that the
V8 Vantage is naturally well
balanced. And because it does
not have to compensate for an
excess of weight over either the
front or the rear of the car, the
suspension is uncompromised –
tuned for optimal handling
and control.
The suspension wishbones are
aluminium, as are the dampers
to save even more weight. The
steering rack is solidly mounted
forward of the front wheels –
common on racing cars but
rarely seen on road cars – for
better control, and to provide
the driver with greater feedback
and response.
WEIGHTING GAME
NATURALLY BALANCED FROM THE OUTSET
If a car is to have natural agility
it must also have a low polar
moment of inertia and excellent
weight distribution. In order to
achieve this, the V8 Vantage is
designed to concentrate as
much weight as possible within
the wheelbase, with minimal
front and rear overhangs. The
engine is positioned ahead of the
cabin but well behind the front
axle line, making the V8 Vantage
a front mid-engined car. Dry
sump lubrication, normally a
motorsport application, enables
the engine to sit lower in the car,
which further improves handling
by lowering the centre of gravity.
Dry sump lubrication also allows
for greater cornering speeds,
as there is minimal danger of
g-forces denying oil supply to
the engine.
Improving weight distribution still
further, the transmission is midrear mounted – forward of the
rear ‘axle’ line – and connected
to the engine by a rigid, cast
aluminium torque tube, which
houses the immensely strong
and light carbon-fibre propeller
shaft. A fast-shifting, six-speed
manual gearbox is standard, its
ratios perfectly matched to the
performance of the V8 engine.
DYNAMICS V8 VANTAGE
DYNAMIC DELIGHT
DRIVER AND CAR IN PERFECT HARMONY
Dynamically, the V8 Vantage
has enviable credentials: a
high-performance, advanced,
lightweight V8 engine, one of
the most lightweight, rigid
body structures available, an
advanced lightweight body, fully
independent double wishbone
suspension and optimum weight
distribution. Put them together
and it’s little wonder that the
result is a supremely agile and
entertaining sports car.
On-road communication and
feel are essential to a sports
car, for any elasticity between
the driver and the contact point
of the tyre diminishes the driving
experience. The driver needs
to know exactly how the car is
behaving. That’s why the body
structure of the V8 Vantage is
so rigid: it ensures maximum
communication between road
and hand, between tyre and
torso. The car’s behaviour is
relayed faithfully and accurately,
ensuring an undiluted driving
experience, yet it remains
tractable and easy to drive –
fast or slow.
The flexibility of the engine and
the easy-to-use controls make
everyday town or city driving
simple and uncomplicated.
Electronic safety controls
provide further reassurance.
Braking power is awesome, with
massive disc brakes – 355 mm
diameter at the front, 330 mm
at the rear – that are both
ventilated and grooved. For the
V8 Vantage, grooving is a better
solution than conventional
cross-drilling of the discs, as
they work more effectively with
the brake pads and do not fill
with brake pad dust. Dynamic
Stability Control, ABS, Traction
Control and Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution also
feature as standard for added
peace of mind. There’s a choice
of two alloy wheel styles –
18 inch or 19 inch in diameter –
fitted with specially tuned highperformance tyres.
CLASSIC ASTON MARTIN STYLE
The design brief for the V8 Vantage
dictated a style that could not be anything
else but an Aston Martin. Elegant, yet
with a controlled aggression. Perfectly
proportioned, with a low, purposeful
stance. Modern, yet incorporating classic
Aston Martin design cues. Like all
Aston Martin sports cars, it is simple,
understated and beautiful. And like all
Aston Martin sports cars, its beauty is
more than skin deep.
Outside, the V8 Vantage displays
beautiful sports car lines, while maintaining
a unique identity. Inside, its traditional
craftsmanship is matched to striking
21st century style. Hand-trimmed in the
finest quality materials, the cabin is that
of an authentic sports car. Driver and
passenger sit low, close to the car’s
centre of gravity, where they can feel
the car reacting to the input of the
driver – it’s a special sensation, usually
only experienced in racing cars. The
connection between car and driver is
very direct. Very sporting. Instantaneous.
The long, low bonnet line
and two-seater cabin of the
V8 Vantage offer an attractive
balance between beauty and
pure aggression. The car sits
low and close to the road, while
the front and rear overhangs
have been purposely minimised.
Essentially, it’s a sports car
with a simple goal – to provide
maximum exhilaration – yet it
is also one of the world’s most
beautiful cars. The side profile
is an elegant, simple sweep,
creating a curved line rather
like a bow under tension, while
the rear haunches are wide and
muscular, like those of a powerful
animal. It is a pure, elegant
design – but, above all, instantly
recognisable as an Aston Martin.

7 spoke 19” alloy wheels
DESIGN V8 VANTAGE
The design team’s brief was to
give the V8 Vantage the look
of a well-toned athlete wearing
a skin-tight suit. With its taut,
almost stretched surfaces, the
car achieves perfectly that
muscular, close-cut look.
The V8 Vantage is very much
a pure sports car, so the
Aston Martin engineers’ priority
from the outset was to focus on
light weight, compact size, agility
and power. At just 172.5 inches
(4.38 metres) long, not only is
it the smallest model in the
Aston Martin range and one of
the leanest cars in its class, but
it is light, too, and very nimble.
Hand-finished body panels
provide its delectable shapes
and perfect fit, while an all-alloy
underbody structure – derived
from aerospace technology –
incorporates bonded aluminium
extrusions and castings for
superb rigidity and minimal
weight. The bonnet and roof are
also constructed from lightweight
alloy, while the front wings,
tailgate and sills are produced
from advanced composites.
The large single-piece body
sides are hand-finished steel
pressings, and include the
entire rear three-quarter area –
or haunches – of the car.
A single pressing means the
side and rear three-quarter style
is especially clean, with the
minimum of unsightly shut lines.
The V8 Vantage could not
be anything else but an
Aston Martin. It is a modern
shape that bears a direct lineage
to some of the great Aston
Martin models of the past, such
as the Aston Martin DB2 –
praised at the time as ‘one of
the most beautiful cars in the
world’ by Motor Magazine in
April 1950 – and its successors,
the DB2/4 and DB4. They were
not just handsome, but very
fast sports cars that were also
immensely practical and could
be used every day. Just like the
V8 Vantage.
DESIGN V8 VANTAGE
THE V8 VANTAGE BEAUTY FROM WITHIN
HAND-CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR SUPERIOR STYLE
Like all Aston Martins, the
V8 Vantage is hand-assembled
and hand-finished. Handcraftsmanship not only improves
quality, but can also improve
styling. Aston Martin’s designers
enjoy fewer constraints than
those faced in mass production,
giving them the freedom to
produce the perfect form.
Hand-assembly also avoids
unsightly solutions to the
inflexibility of mass production.
For instance, the bonnet of the
V8 Vantage has shut lines that
travel all the way to the front of
the car, without the need for a
separate nose cone, so providing
a cleaner, crisper design.
Furthermore, the V8 Vantage
uses metal mesh grilles and
trims instead of the typical
plastic alternatives. Integrity is a
key cornerstone at Aston Martin
and we believe that everything
has to be right.

DESIGN V8 VANTAGE
SOUL MATE
AN INSPIRING, EXCITING
DRIVING ENVIRONMENT
From the moment you first sit
in the V8 Vantage, you connect
with it. It’s a bond created partly
by the natural agility of the car,
but also by the embrace of
the authentic sports car cabin.
Hand-trimmed in the finest
quality materials, it is simple,
logical and beautifully designed;
everything you and your
passenger touch is unique to
Aston Martin.
The instrument pack is beautifully
crafted from aluminium and
has a three-dimensional profile
for easy reading. To create a
clear, simple design, most of
the warning lights are hidden
behind the aluminium faces,
becoming visible only when
illuminated. The central message
displays, meanwhile, are organic
electroluminescent (OEL) –
a process pioneered by Aston
Martin – making them easier to
read than conventional LCDs.
A synthesis of high technology
and hand-crafted elegance,
the interior features an optional
pop-up satellite navigation
screen, class-leading audio
system and even a glass
starter button.
The V8 Vantage is a pure
two-seater, a car dedicated to
providing the most exhilarating
driving experience possible,
but that doesn’t mean it is not
practical. As well as a generous
rear shelf, ideal for soft bags
and holdalls, there’s another,
surprisingly large, luggage area,
easily accessed via a one-piece
lightweight composite tailgate.
It’s the only sports car of its
type today to feature a ‘hatchback’ – a design first used by
Aston Martin on the DB2/4 of
the early 1950s.
21ST CENTURY CRAFTSMANSHIP
AN ALLURING BLEND OF
TECHNOLOGY AND TRADITION
All Aston Martins are built by hand – not
for sentimental reasons but because
only craftsmen can deliver the design
details and level of finish that Aston Martin
engineers and designers demand. This
level of detail and finish is simply not
possible in high-volume manufacture.
At Gaydon in England, Aston Martin’s
new headquarters, hand-made meets
high technology. The all-alloy structure,
the lightweight body, the hand-assembled
V8 engine, the sophisticated electronic
controls and audio systems: all are
engineered to a level of technology rarely
seen in the automotive industry. This mix
of technology, tradition and low volume
makes for an exclusive, advanced and
uniquely desirable sports car.
HAND-CRAFTSMANSHIP V8 VANTAGE
PEOPLE POWER
THE BEAUTY THAT’S
BEYOND ANY MACHINE
True, there is a certain cachet
to a car being hand-built and
modern – it is rare these days
and getting rarer all the time.
But there are a host of sensible
engineering and design reasons
why Aston Martins are still handassembled. Expert craftsmen
can perform the complicated,
labour-intensive work that robots
on production lines cannot.
They can craft designs and
finishes that defeat machines.
Take, for instance, the single
aperture cuts for the headlamps
in the front wings of the
V8 Vantage. This design can
be achieved only because the
V8 Vantage is painstakingly
built by hand.
Then there is the beautiful
stitching of the leather seats.
Automated machines can stitch
leather, but they cannot do it
with the same lively care, or
quality, as craftsmen. The same
is applicable to the finish of the
bodies. Mass-produced cars
frequently need plastic finishers
to hide awkward production line
joins, but cosmetic make-up is
unnecessary at Aston Martin,
where each car is expertly handfinished and tended by craftsmen.
Engines, too, are individually
hand-assembled, just as
they always have been at
Aston Martin, although now
at a brand-new, dedicated,
high-technology facility in
Cologne, Germany. There is no
rush with hand-assembly; the
over-riding concern is always
quality. That is why Aston Martins
– all Aston Martins – are built by
hand, and it is why all the world’s
finest luxury goods, from suits to
watches, are still hand-made.
When low volumes are desirable,
and exclusivity is demanded, it
is quite simply the best way.
HAND-CRAFTSMANSHIP V8 VANTAGE
UNIQUELY ASTON MARTIN
FEEL THE QUALITY, LOVE THE DRIVE
At Aston Martin’s headquarters
in rural Warwickshire, England,
heritage is fused with high
technology. Highly trained
engineers work alongside master
craftsmen in a large, open, airy
and hushed facility.
A special area is allocated to the
hand-crafting of the cabins, and
here you’ll find the many different
materials that feature inside the
V8 Vantage. There are aluminium
alloys used for switches,
instruments and the facia; fabric
and leather in myriad colours
and finishes, including many
different stitching treatments,
as well as optional piano black
wood trim.
All of these come together to
make an interior that is unique
to Aston Martin. Many of the
cabin details are aluminium –
such as the instrument pack
and the door handles – and
the coolness of the metal is
complemented perfectly by
the warm, hand-finished, handstitched leather upholstery.
You just have to step inside the
car to know that it is something
special. Sit behind the threespoke steering wheel and set
the multi-position, electrically
adjustable seats. Put your hands
on the wheel and immediately
you feel the quality of that chunky,
hand-stitched leather rim.
Turn the key and watch the
glass starter button colour
change from blue to red, as
ignition is engaged. Depress
the start button and hear the
V8 engine burst into life. Move
off and you’ll be amazed by the
precise gears – and reassured
by the excellent visibility from
the generously glazed cabin.
Of course, all the switches and
controls are perfectly placed,
for driving enjoyment is the
priority in this cabin built
around you, the driver.
24-HOUR SPORTS CAR
AS HAPPY IN TOWN AS
IT IS ON THE TRACK
The V8 Vantage is a high-performance
sports car, yet the engine is so tractable,
the handling so predictable, the visibility
so good and the controls so easy to use
that it is as comfortable in town or city
as it is on country roads or even the
track. The car’s tailgate adds to its
day-to-day practicality, while high safety
standards provide reassurance whatever
the driving conditions. All of which means
the V8 Vantage can be a weekday
working car, as well as a weekend treat.
USABILITY V8 VANTAGE
This is a car that will thrill you on
the track, yet serve you just as
well in town. It’s an exhilarating
drive on the world’s most
demanding race circuits, yet is
quite happy on motorways, in
traffic or across country. One
of the world’s most inspiring
after-hours sports cars, it is
nonetheless quite happy
labouring from nine to five.
As you would expect of an
Aston Martin, it has been
thoroughly – and painstakingly –
tested. The V8 Vantage has
endured an extensive testing
and development programme,
during which 50 prototypes
were vigorously tested over
more than half a million miles.
Over 12,000 miles of testing,
including maximum speed
runs, were carried out in Dubai,
where the ambient temperature
regularly hit 48o C and the
bodywork of the cars reached
87o C. 37,000 miles of highspeed testing were also
conducted at the Nardo test
track in Italy, where the car ran
at high speed for hours on end.
Extensive testing was carried
out at Nürburgring’s
Nordschleife in Germany, the
world’s most daunting motor
racing circuit, and cold weather
testing, in temperatures as low
as minus 30o C, was undertaken
in Sweden.
USABILITY V8 VANTAGE
There is a surprising amount
of space inside the two-seater
cabin – not just for driver and
passenger, but for luggage too,
making the V8 Vantage the
perfect ally for a weekend away.
The practical shelf behind the
seats is easily large enough for
everyday items such as soft
bags, jackets and a briefcase,
but behind that is a more
substantial luggage area that’s
up to three times larger than
those of some rivals, with
10.6 cu ft (300 litres) of carrying
space. So you can take a set of
golf clubs with you too, if you
choose. Skis are no problem,
either; there is no partition
between cabin and boot, so
they can be loaded through the
tailgate. The large fuel tank and
efficient engine mean that long
stretches between refuelling are
easy: up to 350 miles (560 km)
of touring is possible.
The cabin is full of everyday
conveniences: as well as the
good stowage space, there’s
a satellite navigation option with
a 6.25 in (158 mm) screen that
retracts automatically when not
in use, traffic messaging to help
avoid delays and an integrated
GSM telephone (simply insert
your SIM card into a drawer in
the main instrument console).
Everything is in place to ensure
that time spent in the cabin of
the V8 Vantage is as efficient
and pleasurable as possible.

USABILITY V8 VANTAGE
FULL STRENGTH
SAFETY TO MATCH ITS PERFORMANCE
The V8 Vantage is one of the
safest Aston Martin sports cars
ever made – thanks in part to an
array of electronic safety features,
but also to the inherent strength
of the car itself. Its all-alloy
structure makes for a very
strong passenger cell and
further protection is offered
by deformable front and rear
crumple zones, which absorb
crash energy so that the driver
and passenger do not. Excellent
side impact protection is also
inbuilt, thanks to the large sills,
strong roof pillars, door impact
beams, and the substantial
dashboard and footwell
structures. The fuel cell,
meanwhile, is mounted
amidships – good not only
for safety but also for balance
and handling – and encased in
its own aluminium compartment.
Both driver and passenger
benefit from dual-stage airbags
(deployed in one of two stages
depending on the severity of the
accident) and side airbags.
In addition to all this, the
V8 Vantage incorporates a suite
of electronic safety aids to help
keep it away from accidents.
These include Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) to prevent wheel
slippage or loss of traction,
Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD) to achieve
optimal braking balance, and
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
which automatically applies full
braking power in an emergency.
Positive Torque Control (PTC)
also acts to help prevent the
rear wheels from locking in
an engine braking situation.
Headlamps feature innovative
LED (light emitting diode)
indicators and side lights, and
optional xenon dipped beam
headlights are available. The
rear lamps employ 360 LEDs
for lights, brake and indicators.
As a result, they illuminate
200 milliseconds faster than
conventional brake lights,
providing an additional full car
length of stopping distance at
62 mph (100 km/h) for the
following car. In real-life situations,
that kind of detail can be critical,
so it is reassuring to know that
the V8 Vantage pays as much
attention to safety as it does to
performance and handling.
