The name 'Vantage' has Aston Martin in the program since 1951. Powerful design was connected to this, never such a reduced form. The engineers assure that everything about this body has a function, nothing is purely for show effect. Incredible that the engine could be housed under such a shallow hood.

It comes, like many other invisible equipment, from Mercedes-AMG. It does not even have the usual dry sump lubrication of the AMG-V8. The transmission supplies ZF. The lateral titanium perforated plates let the heat of the far rear engine and the air of the wheel arches outside. Air for the interior comes from the very front. There are no openings in the bonnet.

It is believable if theeEngineers say that 70 percent is new, so it's difficult to compare with the DB 11, which, on the other hand, looks much less filigree. The front-present is almost modest to call, but highly streamlined, as the maximum speed promises. The stern, by contrast, is dominated by the diffuser. On the other hand, it is unbelievable in which relatively narrow LED lights the rear light strip runs off at both sides.

The interior is against the current trend brushed with its many buttons on the center console. After all, there is room for an 8-inch display. The partial use of wood decor in all the leather surrounding takes some getting used to. But if you can determine the color of the seat belts in such a variety, there is certainly a better choice for the rest possible. Even with the seats you can choose between sporty and very sporty. On the passenger side, the dashboard is strikingly simple. By the way, the car does not call itself 'Vantage' according to the rear step, but simply 'Aston Martin'. 11/17
