Warwickshire, England -  Aston Martin has unveiled a new special edition V8 Vantage N420 which brings a new level of sporting performance to the V8 Vantage range.

Successor to the special edition V8 Vantage N400 of 2007, the Vantage N420 is based upon the standard 4.7-litre, 313kW, 290km/h V8 Vantage and is available as a Coupe or Roadster, and with a six-speed manual or optional Sportshift automated manual transmission.

The special edition Vantage N420 is 27kg lighter than a standard V8 Vantage, this is achieved through the extensive use of carbon fibre.

The exterior has wider sills that combine perfectly with a carbon fibre splitter, side strakes and diffuser. A set of 10-spoke diamond turned alloy wheels complete with gloss black finish, black mesh vents and ‘Graphitic' tailpipe finishers complete the co-ordinated look.

The Vantage N420 offers an Iridium interior package, with graphite instruments, leather or Alcantara steering wheel, special N420 sill plaques and lightweight carbon fibre seats, complete with ‘Race Track' stitching as seen in the V12 Vantage. Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control and Park Distance Control are also standard.

The Vantage N420 is fitted with the normally optional Sports Pack. This package includes revised springs, dampers and anti-roll bars for even more responsive and dynamic handling. And finally a new sports exhaust system.

There is also a new range of optional Aston Martin ‘Race Collection' paint schemes. All of the company's successful N24 Vantage racers are celebrated, with ‘Rose' yellow, ‘Kermit' green and ‘Elwood' blue all featuring in the collection along with traditional Aston Martin Racing green. The white and black car shown in the images wears the equally striking ‘Asia Cup' livery.

Production of the V8 Vantage N420 begins this month, with deliveries commencing in August and prices starting from £96,995 ($168,119 AUD).
