It seemed like only yesterday when the Aston Martin Vantage was redesigned. Part of that may be that I didn't see one in person until my trip to Beverly Hills nearly three months ago. Anyway, the new Vantage is the first car Aston Martin partnered with Mercedes-AMG to create. Under its hood is a Mercedes-AMG 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 503 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque. It travels from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 195 mph. An 8-speed automatic is standard while the AMR variant has an optional 7-speed manual. Inside, its cabin is compact and adorned with leather and faux suede. Also featured are sport seats with power adjusters and memory settings and an 8-inch display controlled by a knob in the center console with infotainment, navigation, audio, and Bluetooth. The current Aston Martin Vantage carries a starting price of $156,081. Its roadster version is expected to hit showrooms later this year. Overall, the new Vantage is a beautiful, incredible sports car and more refined than its predecessor.
