Confronting the Iconic: The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage
Intrinsically British, unequivocally vibrant – Aston Martin carries forward its legacy of prowess in sports car craftsmanship with the new 2019 Vantage. A turning point for this long-standing lineage, the latest rendition intensifies performance dynamics and design aesthetics while asserting a bold expression that separates it from its predecessors.
A Powertrain with Brawn
The beating heart of excitement pulsating beneath the athletic bonnet is a newly minted all-alloy twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine. Yielding an intimidating output of 503bhp at a peak rpm range between 2000-5000rpm and torque measuring up to 505 lb-ft., this sturdy power plant leaves no room for skepticism regarding speed or acceleration capabilities. In tandem with these impressive figures, you'll find the ZF eight-speed transmission nestled at the rear end for optimal weight distribution and center-of-gravity assurance.
Digital Precision on Real Tracks
For automotive enthusiasts seeking more than linear speed bursts, corners define their thrill-filled journey. Accommodating such adrenaline needs, Aston's first-ever Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff) comes as standard equipment in the 2019 Vantage model lineup. This E-Diff not only locks within milliseconds but shows brilliant synergy with onboard Dynamic Torque Vectoring and Stability Control systems to maximize traction control around sharp bends or high-speed straightaways.
Vantage Velocity Credentials
Riding on specific Pirelli P Zero tires developed exclusively for Aston Martin, this sportscar attains an awe-inspiring top speed of 195 mph; meanwhile, drivers can expect to cross the exciting barrier from standstill to 60mph in just about 3.6 seconds.
Design Language: Athletic yet Elegant
The 2019 Vantage is a radical departure from subtlety. Sleek lines compliment muscular haunches while the minimal front and rear overhangs signify agility embodified for an adventurous ride. The athletic stance is enhanced with distinctive head and tail lights, leaving behind a memorable imprint of its arresting aesthetics on every passerby's mind.
Inclusive Luxury Defined
No Aston Martin can be complete without the inclusion of opulence in ample measures. Onboard you'd find keyless start/stop functionality, parking distance display along with park assist sensors at both ends, tyre pressure monitoring system integrated within car’s infotainment hub which includes Bluetooth® audio streaming alongside iPhone® and iPod® playback abilities, paired to navigation assisted satellite links-up.
A Base Price Just Shy of $150K
If these enhancements have piqued your interest, make room in your garage as deliveries are set to roll out during the second quarter of this year. The latest iteration enters into market space bearing a suggested retail price starting at $149,995 – fitting for what should arguably become one of Aston Martin's most iconic models in the coming times.
An Audacious Endeavour Manifested
This new form does more than just succeed the outgoing model; it hints towards how sports cars would evolve under ingenuity knighted by the Aston Martin brand lineage. With this aggressive yet visually engaging variant adorning streets soon enough, only reinforces why enthusiasts hold special places in their hearts for vehicles donning Aston insignia.
