Vantage [Official] Aston Martin Vantage (2018)

[Centurion]

The best spec yet.

Agree...

I'm not going to lie, it actually looks quite good in that spec. The complete blackout exterior hides a lot of sins.

le mans update:

unlike the previous years, aston is not fighting for the lead in GTE am/pro

Beside the Hot wheels-like colour accents on the launch cars, I didn't know the Vantage had any design sins beside the soft headlight graphics?

And you almost forget those horrible plastic parts!

Wow, can't wait.....

Really wondering what Vantage will do in supertest...

 

[WBarnes]

Tyre selection will be key in the GT3 RS vs AMG GT R vs Nismo test.

Interesting, there was a yellow GT3 RS on Sachsenring in their YouTube-video, maybe that will be the Supertest-car.

The problem for the Vantage is development during the life cycle. It won't be long before the new 911 and M4 debuts and even though they are cheaper, they are likely to be faster and more dynamic.

I've got the issue now, and I don't know, why it's the green test car on the frontpage, as it is the yellow one, as you mentioned, which was tested. Laptime was done on normal Cup 2's for both the GT3 and the GT R, and were (also because of high temps) surprisingly slow. And as we all expected, next month's supertest will be the GT3 RS, this time on Cup 2R, also next month in Sport Auto's supertest.
Since this is the AM Vantage thread, here are some results:
Power/Torque: 511 hp / 681 Nm (510/685 claimed)
Weight: 1702 kg
Tyre: Pirelli P Zero (A6A)
0-100: 3,7 s
0-200: 12,0 s
0-250: 21,0 s
0-280: 32,4 s
1/4mile: 11,71 s @ 197,4 kph
1km: 21,21 s @ 250,7 kph
Braking 100-0 (c/w): 32,7/31,3 m
Braking 200-0: 124,4 m

Laptime: 1.35,85 min

If you want more results of the other tests as well, I could post a separate results thread for both magazines

0-280 kph exactly 2 seconds slower than AMG C63 S. Not too impressive...

Scans...?

Does the Vantage look better in non-metallic Stratus White?
^ Looks like a Jaguar there.

only 0:54 to 0:58 though.

Metallic colors seems to make the lines pop. I find Arden Green particularly fetching.
