2009 Aston Martin Vantage Volante

When you get hold a key of a $152,465 super car like the 2009 Vantage from Aston Martin, you make sure that you use it and have the drive of your life time. Push the car to its limits and see how it feels like on the road.

We did not steal a 2009 Vantage but was able to test drive it. It is a car to drool for when you see it parked in front of you. You know the fine lines of a great car inside and out.

You may recognize the genes of the distant relative Jaguar XKR when stare at a Vantage. From front to rear, it may be the car you have wanted to draw since you were a fourth grader. It is a car that does not need to exert efforts to impress.

The interior is an elegant mix of technological, technical, and traditional styles. It is like riding a Steinway piano that can blaze on the road in a blink of an eye.

The push is not as impressive as the Porsche 911 Turbo but the 2009 Aston Martin Vantage knows how to send some tingles to your spine. You can feel the 420 horsepower V8 4.7L power plant under its hood that can push you back your seat as it flies from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds.

The Nissan GT-R according to stats is 1.5 seconds faster. But it is really hard to tell if you don’t have the figures in front of you. The Aston will satisfy anyone looking for that linear power delivery.

One room for improvement that we see is its transmission configured on auto manual. The engine paired with a dual clutch transmission will be half a step faster. The paddle shifters and buttons on the dash is a very cool touch.

The Aston Martin’s 2009 Vantage still has a lot of room for customization. There is nothing in the Aston Martin Vantage that goes down the standard of a supercar.
