For decades, Aston Martin was a name that went hand in hand with the world’s most famous spy, 007 James Bond himself. While this Vantage might not have been the one in the movies, the Aston Martin Vantage is a car that has often been featured as the Bond Car, especially in recent iterations of the series. Of course, there’s more appeal to the Vantage than being the spy’s go to automobile. The level of refinement of the British design and engineering is a joy, as is the roar of the V12 that gives life to this Vantage. Reportedly only having 36,000 miles on the clock, there’s a lot to be loved about this beauty of a machine, and plenty of reasons to be the one to take her home.

Exterior and Interior

This 2015 Model of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Coupe is visually striking when approached. The car is beautifully designed, its soft curves broken only by the aggressive front, with its black bezeled headlamps and carbon front grille. The paintjob, called lightning silver is interrupted only with a few enhancements with the black graphics pack and carbon fiber accents and textured tailpipe. The black theme continues with the Satin Black lightweight wheels. You’ll also see a hint of red thanks to the red brake calipers. If you’re worried about damaging the car, you’re covered thanks to the parking sensors that are also available in the front. Stepping inside, you are greeted with a beautiful Obsidian Black interior. Of course, there’s a second key made of glass if you don’t want to be the only one enjoying the interior. The black is interrupted with more carbon, with its carbon fiber paddles. You can tell that this truly is a luxury car from the interior, and that this is an Aston Martin immediately, thanks to the Aston Martin wings embroidered in the headrests. They not only look good, but are also functional. The plush sport seats provide ample support when you’re pushing the car to its capabilities, and are heated for greater comfort when its chilly outside. These aren’t the only amenities that come with this Vantage. There’s the infotainment system with Bang & Olufsen surround audio, a first aid kit and even an umbrella.

Engine

The 5.9 liter V12 is a joy to experience in the Aston Martin. Putting power through a 7 speed sport shift transmission system, the car is powerful as is beautiful. Step on the gas and enjoy the symphony of that wonderful V12 come to life and roar, a true joy to drive.
