Overview
The 2013 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe is a midsize coupe offered as standalone trim, starting off at a base MSRP of $116,700. For that price, it mainly competes with the Porsche 911 GT3 Coupe, the Jaguar XKR-S Coupe, and the Maserati GranTurismo Coupe. 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 7-speed single-clutch automatic transmission. The Vantage reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.7 seconds with the manual gearbox. 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 27 striking colors the Vantage comes in really pull you towards itself.
