Push harder, and the V8 revs freely, delivering refined, exhilarating pace.

Power and torque are not the only reasons for the V8 Vantage’s thunderous performance. Just as important is its lightweight, all-alloy structure, which gives the car class-leading strength and rigidity. The front mid-engined layout and rear mid-mounted transmission help to provide the optimum front-to-rear weight distribution, as well as creating a low centre of gravity. The result is agility, inspired balance and perfect handling.
