The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe is a hand-crafted sports car that offers exceptional performance, outstanding agility and everyday usability. The Vantage is the leanest and most agile car in Aston's three-model lineup and as such, is a more accessible model to those interested in its rivals such as the Porsche 911. In May 2008, Aston Martin announced new technological updates for the Vantage, which included changes to the engine, transmission, suspension and appearance.
The V8 Vantage Coupe de l ivers superb, responsive handling. Aston Martin’s unique all-alloy VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture provides an excellent backbone, while the use of lightweight alloys, magnesium and advanced composites reduces body weight and creates class-leading rigidity. Inside, the V8 Vantage Coupe boasts innovative features such as the Emotion Control Unit, three-spoke steering wheel, electronic adjustable seats and Aston Martin’s pioneering organic electroluminescence (OEL) display unit which is easier to read than conventional LCD’s.
At the heart of every great sports car is a great engine, and the V8 Vantage Coupe is powered by Aston Martin’s 313 kW (420 bhp) 4.7-litre V8 engine, developed for both flexibility and outright performance. The V8 also sounds spectacular and is capable of propelling the car to a maximum speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). A fast-shifting, six-speed manual gearbox is standard and its ratios perfectly matched to the performance of the V8 engine.
Aston Martin’s acclaimed electro-hydraulic Sportshift transmission is available as an option on the V8 Vantage Coupe. Offering precision gearshifts in around 200 milliseconds, the paddle-operated gearbox brings the sporting driver even closer to the car. When the paddles are not in use, Sportshift includes a user-selected ‘Auto Drive’ mode that will automatically select the right gear for the conditions and a ‘comfort’ setting allows for more relaxed changes.
In 2007, the V8 Vantage was voted one of Automobile magazine's "All Stars" for its performance, road manners, and design. On the road prices for the new V8 Vantage Coupe start from £84,397.

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
