Aston Martin have updated the V8 Vantage for 2010, adding some of the features that have appeared on special edition models during the past 2 years and introducing several enhancements to improve fuel efficiency and emissions.
The Vantage can be now specified with 10-spoke forged 19-inch alloy wheels with diamond turned and silver finish, clear rear lamps, N400 sill design, magnum silver bonnet and side strake meshes, lightweight seats with kevlar and carbon fibre construction and a 1000W B&O Hi-Fi system.
The 2010 Aston Martin Vantage is powered by Aston’s 4.7-litre V8 engine, but modified to release fewer emissions. Nevertheless improvements are modest, falling from 328 g/km for the current model down to 315 g/km for the 2010 model. Performance remains largely the same.
The revised 2010 Vantage is available to order now, with delivering expected in the first few months of 2010. Pricing starts at £83,191 for the V8 Vantage Coupe and £91,021 for the Roadster.

December 11, 2009The new sidesill adds a bit of flare, but was completely unnecessary. Aston could use a new steering wheel design and not make the center stack out of so much plastic. Otherwise, they better have someone really talented to pen the replacement. Not that needs saying.
