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.

^^^ No your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That emblem does indeed say V12!!

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.

:hello:

Pretty cool having the driveshaft. Maybe we can get carbon fiber brakes next :D

Very cool car though. :tup: Thanks for posting

Wow really? Ok I feel down trodden and schooled. I didn't realize we had that. :(

I guess I learn sometyhing everyday.

Since when did CF or DFC productx become standard.

I feel like a tard.

^^^ Great job on the research ^^^.

Check out the interior of this luxury beast; I believe it is Full Alcantara!

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

Reminds me of the iroc

I think back then I liked Kitt's. rofl.

^^^ hahahahahhahahaha

All 350Z's have them, so I guess '2003' is your answer.


...but as far as the Aston is concerned, I see lots of them - and every time I see one I feel a little more ordinary :(

They look so gorgeous, but they don't have a great reputation for reliability. Having said that, they did an excellent job at Le Mans last June.

Ugh that DBR9 is gorgeous. I guess they decided to put the V12 Vantage into production. From what I heard..the 4 extra cylinders didn't affect the handling all that much. I see at least 5-6 V8 Vantages every damn day where I live so this isn't very exciting, but the thought of the V12 in that car makes me happy. Go Aston, now lets make sure it doesn't catch on fire within the first couple months..

The V12 is a great car in my opinion but here is my personal favorite:

The Caparo T1 manufactured with an Indy V8 and many carbon pieces, this car revs to 17,000 RPM and hits 0-60 in 2.6 seconds!

What would you drive if you were to challenge this car?

Holy crap...
I always pass by the Aston Martin dealership by my dad's shop.
It's crazy how people are spending big bucks still at a time like this...
If I can't afford an Aston before I'm 30, I'll give up on that idea and save money for my future family.
Ya dig?!

"Bugattis are special enough as they are, but special Veyrons are hardly uncommon in the scheme of things. Bugatti has launched a seemingly endless succession of special edition supercars with unique paint schemes and trim packages. If the latest rumors are to be believed, however, the new special Bugatti could be very special indeed. Supposedly called the Centenaire edition, reports suggest the special Veyron an increased power rating – word on the street has always been that the Veyron's quad-turbo W16 was always capable of more than the already astronomic 1000 horsepower rating it got – up to some 1350 horses, good enough to boost the top end up to 420 km/h (261 miles-per-hour) from the current benchmark of 400 km/h (253 mph). - Autoblog

Who would believe me if I said that this was designed by Aston Martin?
