Despite comparatively small scope of production, Aston Martin V8 Vantage can be called a hit of the British company, as this very model is the most popular with the customers. Nevertheless, even though the price is relatively low, not all the clients are satisfied by Vantage and beg for something “hotter.”

Aston Martin has quite an unenviable state at the moment: stable support from Ford has disappeared and the company has to simply survive – in the direct meaning of the word.

That’s why the British company has to listen to each clients’ “sneeze.” Each client, having paid over $100 000 for a Vantage, wants a little bit of exclusiveness. And it goes without saying that the desire of a client is a rule.

That’s why for such capricious fellows the company has created the model Vantage RS. The exterior of the car has been left unchanged. The look of Vantage is as it is almost perfect and any developments would hardly create any more advantage. That’s why only the cowling and the root cover have been slightly changed. Now they are made of carbon. These and other contrivances of the British designers have enabled to reduce the weight of the sportcar to 1600 kg. And the installation of a 600-hp V12 engine with the substantial max torque of 690 Nm has enabled Vantage to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 4 seconds.

As for the price, the new Vantage RS will hardly remain a “budget” Aston. Hand assembling plus the limited series will multiply its price many times. How many? It will be known only next year.
