i think this one is under 100K. I thought i remeber seeing something saying around 80K but i could be way off.
It's supposed to be a 911 fighter i think

Hey Lalo, the price of the V-8 Vantage will be around $100K. I stopped by a local Porsche dealer on a Sunday and saw a 2005 Carrera S. With options that thing was just a smidge below $100K. :notnice: . AM has themselves a fantastic buy right here. If I was in a postion to look for a sports car and my choices were either the new 911 Carrera S or this AM, I would choose this every day and twice on Sunday, and it would only be 1 color, Pentland Green, which is British Racing Green in AM's color palate. This is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen . I really love the ducktail spoiler on the back. This looks just like a baby Vanquish. It is incredible to look at, and the price is really good in the realm of what the car is, a low production car, compared to the tens of theousands of Porsche 911's their making. I can't wait to see it in person. Does anyone know if it will be at the NY Auto Show starting at the end of this month?

it is going to sell here for £80k sterling, if you are getting it for $100k, that is an absolute bargain!!

Sweet Jesus!

I love those close up shots doug. Check out the finish of that metal! Its like, melted titanium was poured into a fine mold! or something like that. It sounds weird but... i wanna touch it.

I say this should be James Bond's next car. And the bad guy can be a German guy driving the porsche.

I would choose AM over anyting out there. it is just so beautiful

And it would be a hard choice between British Racing Green and the beautiful silver they have on those pictures.

I wish they had some pics of the interior.

I wish I had the moneys to afford one -_-

You know, I rather think that's the least attractive Aston they make. And that's not a knock on the V8 Vantage, but I think it says alot for the other Astons. I'm actually pleasantly surprised, I was afraid I wouldn't like this car when it hit production, but there's really not much to dislike about it. The only thing I really don't care for is the taillight treatment, and it's not really that bad.

Goregous. Is it just me or does the whole profile shot make it look similar to the Shelby GR-1?
