The Aston Martin is one of the most beautiful and elegant exotic cars on the road, it is the sports car of the gentlemen.  It combines sophisticated good looks with a lot of power, now Aston Martin has released a more powerful special edition model that is more driver focused, called the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S.

The Vantage S gets a new front and rear bumper with a splitter and a larger air intake in the front; the side sills have also become larger.  The Vantage S rides on 19 inch alloy wheels and is also offered with optional lightweight forged wheels.

Under the hood, the V8 has been tweaked to produce 430 horsepower (an increase of 10 hp over the standard V8 Vantage) and 361 pound-feet (490 Nm) of torque (an increase of 14.75 lb-ft).  The engine is mated to a 7-speed Sportshift II automatic transmission with shorter gear ratios, gear changes are 20% quicker than the standard Vantage with the 6-speed transmission.

I've been writing about cars for the last 8 years, but I've loved everything with an engine since I was a kid. I'll take the sound of high revving naturally aspirated engine over music, any day! Favorite Car: Porsche Cayman GT4
