The new Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 is a specially built racing-style models, which is based on N400 models launched in 2007, have been launched in July this year. In appearance, in addition to a newly designed grille, smoked headlamps and 10-spoke-style alloy wheels, the car is also extensive use of carbon fiber material, including spoilers, diffusers, etc. are reflected. The lighter body also helps to play a dynamic performance.
In power, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 Roadster is equipped with a 4.7 liter V8 engine, maximum power of 420 horsepower, top speed 290 km / hour. In the interior, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 Roadster also use a large number of lightweight carbon fiber material, while leather and velvet-wrapped steering wheel, sport seats "Iridium", and in particular the (Iridium) interior kits are all equipped with. In the configuration, the new car include a parking assist system, Bluetooth, cruise control and sports exhaust system and so on.
According to Aston Martin, the new V8 Vantage N420 was directly inspired by and patterned after the company's N24 racer, which regularly competed at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. It's fitting, then, that the automaker recently issued a teaser film showing the production-ready N420 tackling the same German road course as its predecessor.
To illustrate the N420's racing lineage, Aston's sprinkled the promo piece with clips of its factory-backed racers running their way around the 'ring, but the true meat lies with action footage of the V8 Vantage stretching its legs on both public motorways and the actual Nordschleife. Also shown are some of the N420's special touches, including a unique carbon fiber front splitter, rear diffuser, door sill plates, and unique ten-spoke wheels.
That's great, but we argue this film is almost best heard, not seen. Be sure to crank up the volume to hear the V8 Vantage's 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V-8 being floored by its test driver. According to Aston, the engine delivers a solid 420 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to rocket theN420 from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph.
The N420 is available in both coupe and convertible forms, but Aston Martin appropriately plans on restricting production of the special-edition Vantage to 420. In the U.S., an N420 coupe will run buyers $132,000, while the convertible is priced from $145,000. A sizable chunk of change, but given the limited production run, along with the striking mixture of performance and styling, some may argue this is a relative bargain.
