2016 Aston Martin Vantage GT Carbon

The V8 Vantage caters for all true piston heads-there is nothing more appetising than the performance of a rear-wheel drive, naturally aspirated and front-engined throaty V8 with an exhaust not you never tire of and totally unrivalled build quality.

In May 2008 Aston Martin announced its all new technological updates for the Vantage, including improvements to the engine, transmission and suspension.

The new Vantage received an all-new lightweight flywheel, 7 speed Graziano Sport Shift II gearbox and an upgrated handcrafted 4.7 litre V8 producing a whopping 420hp capable of launching the robust Aston from 0-100km/h in just 4.3 seconds.

In 2015, Aston Martin then launched the GT version, a stripped out Vantage S, in line with the company’s very rich and historical racing pedigree ,that was fitted as standard with a sports exhaust and offered revised potent and sharper handling with excellent feedback.

In its 2016 review Caradvise noted that ‘its a superior system to that found in a base model 911 Carrera or Carrera S, and you’ll have to step up to a 911 GT3 before you can truly compare the two brands together’.

Available here is a superb 2016 Aston Martin Vantage GT Carbon delivered new by Aston Martin Melbourne in June of 2016.

Ordered in special AML Skyfall Silver over Obsidian Black Plisse Alcantara with the 7 Speed Sportshift II transmission this low kilometre and superbly well-maintained car has travelled only 24,450 kilometres.
