Some cars need no introduction, as their mere presence alone commands onlookers to stop what they are doing an appreciate the rolling artwork cruising by. One look at this 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Convertible and it's easy to see why this Titanium Silver droptop might just be one of the best grand tourers in history. With a mere 18,769 actual miles on its odometer, this British beauty looks like it has barely aged a day.
Inside, this Aston envelopes its lucky occupants in a swath of supple Chancellor Red leather. Heated power seats and mirrors, along with power windows and locks provide plenty of modern amenities, while rain-sensing windshield wipers, an AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth/Navigation infotainment system, and a beautiful analog clock situated midway up the center stack remind both driver and passenger that the lap of luxury can doesn't have to stay still.
Under the hood, we find a naturally-aspirated DOHC 4.3-liter V-8 engine. Thanks to an aluminum block and heads, variable intake valves and a dry-sump oiling system, this European V-8 pumped out an impressive 380 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. That power is routed through a six-speed "Sportshift" automated manual transmission that utilizes electro-hydraulic actuators to operate the clutch, along with column-mounted paddle shifters when in manual mode. From there, those ponies are sent through the 3.91:1 limited-slip rear end which transfers power to the pavement via a set of nineteen-inch polished, seven spoke wheels shod in Z-rated rubber.
