| Road Test |
The 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage sits in a unique niche in the sports car world--: a bit more expensive than the Porsche 911, Audi R8, and Maserati Gran Turismo, but a bargain compared to supercars from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Offered as a two-seat roadster or coupe, it’s hand-built in Great Britain and is offered from a base price of about $130,000. For 2009, it’s been improved with more power and finer interior details. TheCarConnection.com’s editors drove a new Vantage provided by the manufacturer to write this road test summary.
