Baby your the best ..... After Car meet we stop at Aston Martin

admin   Mon, 19 Feb 2018  MACHEENE | Report Abuse Aston Martin in Summary: 
  


Ferrari this, Lambo that, Mclaren and Bentley yea they all tickle the feet but if your truly a Casino Royal there is only one car that play's the role of sport/gt and with an exhausts to give Lions a run for the mill, the Aston Martin. This week in car mania there was a car meet than there was Dimmitt Automotive Group who invited the car faithful for a walk through the Lot, I couldn't help but glance and recognize Bentley, then cross over to my favourite daily Cadillac .. than at the end what was this ... Ohh Noo James Bond pic and Penny I mean literally there were a couple of Penny's handing out popcorn but sorry gal's nothing matches the boudoir of an Aston Martin. This is a company that says can we do any wrong even with the past issued of electronic faux paux's or maybe the engine note that doesn't match the paper performance. Yea Aston is just one of those cars the total package, something that you could live with for a long time, you know "WIFEY MATERIAL". 

   

Ahh if looks could kill, the Vantage S was the last iteration of a long-standing design that has been with us for over 11 years. You want to talk about the fountain of youth take a look at the pictures above. This car was meant to be the most sporty GT of the group designed by Henry Fisker this Gem finally put all the pieces together like a star with experience I'll be it 11 years of a hard workload which included competition from Porshe, Bentley, and Mercedes Benz  the range was vast because there was no delineation. The S moniker embarks as a model that places Aston with clear lines of demarcation a testament of what was to come. Familiar things that didn't need to change, offered in manual or automatic form oops only manual pushing to this V12 horse, the power: 

6.0L V12 N/A 
562 HP / 601 LB TQ 
0-60 MPH: 3.9 
Top speed: 205 MPH 

So where done, No Mate Nooooo they hit me again if the Vantage S wasn't enough two familiar faces strike again one I consider the best design in the modern era of GT Car I' guess I'll start there since this is the end of an era for the Aston Martin Vanquish. 

   

Fitted with the same V12 6.0L but updated with an 8 Speed automatic to bring it in with the times the Vanquish with slight changes to make it look more sporty was spotted in a dashing red. If any silhouette says that you made its this vehicle, another 200 MPH car the 0-60 is under 4 seconds but truthfully you wouldn't care if it was at 5.0 second the engine note meant to tell you this is the end of things that sound this good, this is the best iteration of the DB laws in effect at full force. I sat in this thing and felt every bit as special as when you look at it from the outside. I'm stopping here stats and driving dynamics mean nothing looking at this thing, it's an art piece. 


 
  
 

Last but we are sure to see more production of is a combination of both the new DB11 looks and sportiness all merged into one that makes light of a new organism to the game a twin turbo V12 churning higher than 600HP a does one other duty pitches up the torque levels so you can enjoy this power down low the electronics source from Benz, an available 4.0L for Benz to spruce up the driving experience there is nothing more to say as this car brings it all together the vantage and the vanquish all in one, not to say that the rest go away but this car serves a hall mark of the change to the Aston Martin one trick poney business. 0-60 in less than 4 seconds in all forms a top speed of 200 mph in all forms, so hello Dr. No to the greatest all arounder in the world proclaimed by me, let the pictures do the talking.
