Overview

The 2011 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $118,650. For that price, it mainly competes with the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe, the Audi R8 V8 Coupe, and the Maserati GranTurismo Coupe. Between 3 trims, the Vantage offers a single powertrain. It is a 4.7L V8 making 420 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed single-clutch automatic transmission. The Vantage reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.7 seconds with the manual gearbox which gets pumped to 4.5 seconds with the automatic transmission. Depending on the transmission, the Vantage can manage a combined fuel economy between 15 and 16 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 32 striking colors are given just on the base trim.

Buying Advice

The Aston Martin Vantage is the perfect blend of performance and luxury in a coupe form. With two trims on offer, the all-new N420 trim brings in some performance upgrades like a lightweight exhaust system, carbon-fiber bodywork trim, and a sport suspension. Furthermore, it adds more convenient features to the standard equipment list.
