New Aston Martin
New Aston Martin
Anybody seen the new (2005) Aston Martin Vantage? Evo (a great mag by the way, just got my first issue yesterday) had a wrie up on it. Looks very similar to the Vanquish, but is supposed to be priced at Carerra level. Expect 400hp. Aimed at the Carerra, NSX, Masarati coupe, maybe 360. Sorry, no pics, but I'll dig around and see if I can find some links.
Same issue had an interesting debate on how much hp is too much (spured by the 1000hp Bugatti that is said to be good for 250mph.) For example, sick amounts hp further the need for traction control systems, stability control etc, etc, all of which takes the driver further out of the equation.
Also great review of the E55, which the mag said was almost too powerful for its own good. Gave the nod to M5 over the MB...good read.
