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.
