Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Affectionately described as the "baby Aston," the V8 Vantage coupe is Aston Martin's cheapest, smallest, and highest volume model currently on the market. It is positioned in price against the Porsche 911 Carrera S, Audi R8, Mercedes SL550, and BMW M6, but in reality is different from all those vehicles. It's lighter and more nimble than the M6 or SL, but more of a grand tourer than the hardcore R8 or 911. The Vantage comes with a 4.3 liter naturally aspirated V8 producing 380 horsepower. The powerplant propels the 3595 pound sports car to 60 mph in no more than 4.9 seconds. A top speed of 175 mph is possible, and good handling on the track is ensured by a 49/51 front/rear weight distribution. Selling at a MSRP of $110,000, Aston Martin is expected to move around 3,000 V8 Vantages per year.
