Aston Martin Vantage V8 on 2040-cars
Little Falls, New York, United States
About this Car 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage with Gray exterior and black interior. I bought the car in beginning of 2012. This car was my second car and it was always garage kept! Car has good miles/year which is the most important concern for these vehicles. There is not better sports car /cruiser that has this level of craftsmanship and luxury, an engine that produces 420 HP, 0-60 under 4.2 secs. It is a perfect daily everyday car and looks like a $120,000+. You can own this car for the price of a BMW 5 series or a Lexus. This car has never been used as a lease or corporate vehicle! About 2009 Aston Martin Vantage Know the car you are buying, do your research. 2009 is the key year for Vantage since the car key changes for 2009. Most notably, the V8 has been upped to 4.7 liters and 420 horsepower. The suspension and automatic transmission have also been revised for improved performance. The interior is now more attractive and has user-friendly center stack controls that originally debuted in the DBS. Do not compare the 2008 models with 2009. Car and Driver Review: "The V-8 Vantage is the lightest and friskiest Aston Martin, and for that reason it's our favorite. Aston's middle-child DB9, which costs close to $200,000, is heavier and less nimble, and we've never tested one that accelerates as quickly as this model" *Seller is open to inspection.*CARFAX shows a fender bender and was scratched slightly while it was parked when a women backed into the left front. ONLY BODYWORK. Price reflects this issue.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Nissan could have bought a stake in Aston Martin as early as 2012
Mon, 08 Sep 2014Aston Martin has a very interesting future ahead of it. While the British brand appeared to be struggling with aging tech for a while, fresh investment from Daimler may have shown a light toward the future with the brand getting engines and electronics from them. Also, former Renault-Nissan top exec Andy Palmer has jumped ship from the French/Japanese automaker to become CEO of the much smaller sports car company. Interestingly, though, new reports from unnamed Nissan sources have indicated that Palmer has been pushing to work with AM for years.
Three unnamed company insiders told Reuters that Palmer made attempts to convince Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2012 and 2013 to invest in Aston Martin, but his proposals were shot down both times for unspecified reasons, according to Automotive News. "We looked carefully at the proposal but we passed on it," said one of the sources.
You can easily see why Palmer was eying Aston Martin even back in 2012. It's no secret that the British sports car mavens were in need of extra funding, well before the Daimler investment. Building vehicles these days is only getting more expensive with stronger safety and emissions requirements. Just look at the brand's desperate hope to get a side-impact crash exemption to keep selling its models in the US as an example.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
