It's All About the Details
 

Some people believe that if you can find everything that a car has to offer within 30 seconds, then the designer(s) did not invest enough time in the designing of that vehicle.

This is NOT one of those cars.

I'm confused. The car is amazing, but whats the big deal about it being a V12?

The V12 is just the icing on the cake. The "big deal" is in the ingenuity of the drivetrain.

The Vantage's power is sent through a carbon fiber driveshaft to a rear-mounted six-speed manual gearbox. The transmission benefits from an oil cooler and a new rear diffuser which helps cool the standard limited slip differential. Aston claims a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds and top speed of 190 mph.

Granted it isn't the most impressive in terms of performance; but how many companies actually invest this much detail into a car and actually produce it?

^^^^ wow, i like the Aston's............... kinda out of the budget for us Z & G folks

It's absolutely amazing. Those brake pads are = :eek:. Thanks for sharing.

A carbon fiber driveshaft??? Wow whats the manufacturing cost of something like that?

Pretty cool! :tup:

Someday maybe...I can wish.

Beautiful car
 

I believe the 370Z can beat it in the corners though.

The level of customer chosen detail is amazing when a person actually orders one. Check out the website "build your own". I just posted the dbs as an example.

What do you all think about the way the front splitter works with the mouth? I have yet to decide whether or not I like it.

-Hunter

i like the splitter, if the sides were a bit more bold and sticking out, it would be better IMO

Splitter is nice. Hood is not to my taste. Love the rims

^^ not liking the cheese grater hood???...... never know when you might need one while on the go
