Aston Martin and the New Vantage: A Partnership with AMG
Introduction to Aston Martin
As a car enthusiast, I'm thrilled to share this news. Before diving into the details, let’s take a look at Aston Martin. This British company is renowned for crafting some of the most beautiful cars and is the top choice for James Bond's vehicles.
Aston Martin's Partnership with AMG
Now, let’s explore AMG, the performance division of Mercedes-Benz. At the heart of every car lies its engine, and AMG is known for producing some of the best engines—not only in terms of power but also sound. You will recognize an AMG engine by its distinctive roar, even before seeing the car.
Technical Specifications of the Vantage
The two automotive giants have come together to introduce a manual transmission in the Aston Martin Vantage, which is quite an exciting development! The Vantage is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine delivering 503 horsepower, set to launch next year. The 2017 Vantage is part of Aston Martin’s ambitious plan to roll out seven new models, including the DB11, followed by the Vanquish, and potentially a crossover as all brands are attempting to enter this market segment.
Statements from the CEO
Mr. Andy Palmer, CEO of Aston Martin, has frequently stated that the company will continue to manufacture sports cars with manual transmissions until Aston Martin is the last manufacturer in the world to do so.
