Here's your dose of motor news for today. We love Aston Martin. For the past decade now they can't do anything wrong and all their cars become pin ups in teenagers bedrooms next to jessica alba. However, although they are performance cars, none of them have ever been able to replace the highly tuned italian supercars which i thought Aston were fine about, until this bit of motor news...
The reason i'm so excited about this car is this concept. It's like replacing an electric toothbrush motor, and replacing it with one off an electric sander. Instead of the V8 engine, they are replacing it with a V12 engine, but not the one 450o bhp one off the DB9. Oh no, they've only gone and used the one on the DBRS9 race car ( A massive 600 bhp). Here are the stats:
* 0-60 is taken in 4 secs!
* 0-100 is taken in 8.5 secs!
* The top speed is going to be well over 200mph.
* It will weigh just 1500 kg.
Their biggest challenge was making the car handle well as the engine would add 93kg onto the car, and not to mention would mess up the wight ratio. To tackle this they have mercilessly slashed weight off the car. Simarly to the DBS, a sizeable proportion of the body panels have been remade out of carbon fibre. It's incredible that the original Vantage was 1800 kg and this one is 1500 kg.
A big selling point will be the noise, the enigne will make a fantastic noise so you'll be heard coming a mile off. All in all, Aston is alarming motor news journalists everywhere as the new management's intentions are clear, they want to focus on performance.
