First shown as a concept vehicle at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the production-ready Aston Martin V8 Vantage launched 2005 in Geneva. A sleek, close-coupled two-seat hatchback coupe, the V8 Vantage immediately gained rave reviews for its nimble handling and all-around performance as the sportiest Aston to date. Hand-built by Aston Martin at Gaydon, UK with impeccable design and immense quality, the Vantage is an incredible performer with its rowdy 4.3-liter V-8 engine featuring dual overhead cams and 32 valves to deliver 380 bhp at 7,000 rpm. Handling is excellent with the engine featuring mid-front mounting and power delivered by a rear transaxle for near-perfect weight distribution. Slotted Brembo disc brakes were also standard. Capable of accelerating from rest to 60 mph just 4.8 seconds, the V8 Vantage delivers a Supercar-worthy top speed of 175 mph.
Equipped with the rarest 6-speed manual transmission desired by serious driving enthusiasts, this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a two-owner example with just 8,507 miles at the time of writing. Offered on behalf of a knowledgeable and highly respected Chicago-area collector of the finest modern and classic British cars, this V8 Vantage was purchased by them in November 2011 at just 1,147 documented miles from Lake Forest Sportscars. As now offered, it is impeccable and virtually as new throughout, including the incredibly clean undercarriage, which is complete with its undamaged factory-installed belly pans. Featuring excellent colors including Chiltern Green (Code AST1100D) paint, this V8 Vantage is further complemented by a Black and Tan interior with Tan-stitched accents and un-curbed 7-spoke alloy wheels. As expected, this V8 Vantage includes air conditioning, power windows and door locks, power-adjustable seats and premium-level audio with CD player. Included with the sale of the car are the books/manuals and navigation system instructions, plus a Battery Tender, air pump and tow hook.
