Finished in Jet Black over Obsidian leather, this 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is powered by a 4.7L V8 engine with 420 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed sequential Sportshift example, this Vantage boasts several significant improvements over earlier V8 Vantage models, many of which are explained in this post. Showing just over 19,900 miles at the time of documentation, this Aston Martin is offered directly from our inventory with a clean title and clean Carfax.
The 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage was the first year for a number of improvements to the Vantage, both large and small. Post-update models can be differentiated at the onset by their 20-spoke alloy wheels, a dash of flair amid an otherwise subtle design. The Jet Black paint on this Vantage presents as new, and clear protection film has been applied in several places including just ahead of the rear wheels. The front bumper has not been drilled for a license plate. The red Brembo brakes and slotted rotors are stock. Inside, this 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is clad in Obsidian Black leather with red deviated stitching along the seats, dashboard, and center console. Cabin appointments include an Alcantara headliner, 10-way power seats, an analog clock, push-button ignition with a glass button, and a 160-watt Aston Martin sound system with iPod integration. The buttonless leather-wrapped steering wheel shows no wear and is flanked on either side by paddle shifters for the sequential transmission. The digital odometer reflects 19,908 miles at the time of documentation.
The differences between this later Vantage and earlier models are most apparent under the skin. The 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is powered by a quad-cam 32-valve 4.7-liter V8 engine, up from the 4.3L displacement of prior years. This increase bumped the power figures to 420 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque, an 11% and 15% increase over earlier models, respectively. Backed by a six-speed sequential transmission, this powerplant propels the V8 Vantage to 60 MPH in 4.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 180 MPH – half a second and 5 MPH faster than before. The 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage also features a lighter flywheel, stiffer suspension with Bilstein dampers, and new throttle mapping yielding a 13% increase in fuel economy – in other words, it’s better all around.

Aston Martin resurrected the Vantage name as a stand-alone model in 2005. Previously used to denote a more powerful variant of an existing nameplate, the Vantage is a grand tourer, just like the DB9 that slotted above it during the period. This particular 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe bears only 8,200 miles on its wheels and is said to have received a recent tune-up, as well as full maintenance done approximately four months ago. If you've ever wanted to channel your inner James Bond fantasies, just buy this car and let your imagination run riot, albeit within the confines of the law.
The motor enthusiast community as a whole unanimously accepts that the iconic "007" or James Bond is synonymous with the Aston Martin brand. Owning one of these cares means wherever you cruise in it, people look at you as if you are a suave superspy. Aston Martin isn't just a movie star, either. These cars were crafted by Brits to last decades using luxury, elegance, and astounding timeless design. What's going to make these icons even more imposing? Driving with its top down. You can have just that experience in this gorgeous 2008 Aston Martin Vantage Convertible, which has traveled less than 26,000 miles in its lifespan. It may not keep pace with a 911 Porsche, but it will certainly make you the envy of all petrolheads.
Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
Historically, British sports and luxury automaker Aston Martin applied the Vantage tag to existing vehicles, usually to signify the higher-performance derivative of them. All that changed in 2005 when they decided to make Vantage a separate model. Designed by Henrik Fisker and Ian Callum, the first proper generation of the Vantage was a huge success, and the second generation continued on a lively streak. This 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster is a lovely first-generation example and has received a recent servicing. With its soulful V8 engine, Sportshift automated manual gearbox and just over 24,000 miles on the clock, it’s now up for grabs in The Villages, Florida. Do you like it? You definitely do!
