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).
