I’ve enjoyed driving many fantastic cars over the years. Still, some stand out with a feel and experience you don’t get from comparing specifications on a page but instead offer an immersive driving experience. This Speedway White 2015 Aston Martin Vantage GT Coupe with a 6-speed manual transmission and glorious-sounding V8 engine that revs to 7300rpm is one of those cars.
It feels like a wonderfully analog sports car, an old-school bruiser whose rear end swings out gently and gracefully at will, yet it also feels high-end and distinguished from almost any other vehicle.
Building each Aston Martin Vantage GT by hand in England takes 200 hours, and the attention to detail shows in the spectacular leather and Alcantara interior, the unique swan doors that open with a dignified 12-degree upswing, the machined aluminum gauges that remind you of craftsmanship similar to high-end watch manufactures, and glass jewel-like key that inserts into the dash to bring this Aston Martin to life!
The Vantage GT handles beautifully, too, with its sport-tuned suspension, aluminum frame, limited-slip differential, and front-mid-engine-and-rear-transaxle for a nearly 50/50 weight distribution.
The hand-built four-cam, 32-valve V8 loves to sing, revving to 7300rpm and producing 430HP, making spectacular exhaust notes while doing it!
This 2015 Aston Martin Vantage GT Coupe has just 28,139km and features the following specs:
