Aston Martin are a British sports car manufacturer best known for providing James Bond his wheels. In fact, you can find an Aston Martin vehicle prominently featuring in 13 of the 25 official Bond films that have been produced to date. However, Aston Martin dates back to over fifty years before the British superspy hit the silver screen; the company was founded in 1913. Today, driving an Aston Martin is a supreme style statement that you prefer the suave and sophisticated things in life, and when the mood strikes, rather enjoy being shaken but not stirred. This 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe is a fine example of one to own and drive. What’s better? It’s got just 41,740 miles which is pretty gentle for a 14-year-old car.
Styled by Ian Callum, the V8 Vantage model ran between 2005 and 2018, and could be had in V12 and V8 flavors. An iconic feature, which this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe proudly showcases are the ‘swan doors’ that slightly rise when opening, giving the impression of a graceful swan about to take flight. The effect is all the more dramatized by gray paint job that this car wears. Head and tail lamps are signature Aston Martin, and together with the silhouette and crest on the hood and trunk, mean that this car will not be mistaken for anything else. Step aboard the two-seat interior in black, and you are faced with an ambience that still looks current, fourteen years later. Powered seats, multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters for gear selection, cruise control, climate control and decent sound system are all included. The interestingly styled instrument cluster highlights an anticlockwise-sweeping tachometer, which is an Aston Martin signature that continues to this day. Bar the absence of a touchscreen for the slightly dated infotainment system, you won’t be left wanting much, and there’s a beautiful engine tone waiting to distract you – so beautiful in fact that Jeremy Clarkson declared the V8 Vantage as Best Sounding Car Of The Year in 2005 when it was released.
While the bigger Vantage brothers packed the automaker’s signature 6.0L (or 5.9L depending on how you look at it) V12, this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe rocks the smaller 4.3L V8 engine as the name suggests. Nevertheless, the quad-cam unit puts out a very respectable 380hp at 7,300rpm and 302lb-ft at 5,000rpm to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated manual gearbox. Zero to sixty is a sub-5 second affair, with top speed rated at 175mph. When it’s time to come to a halt, slotted Brembo brakes are more than up to the job. An Aston Martin battery conditioner is also included to keep the battery charged should this beauty spend an extended amount of time being parked – which it really shouldn’t! Go out and enjoy it!
