2005 Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage
Joining the flagship Vanquish and the DB7 line, the AMV8 Vantage will be a two-seat sports car with a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout surrounded by a hand-built aluminum and carbon fiber chassis and body. The AMV8 Vantage will be powered by a state-of-the-art all-aluminum V8 specifically designed for the Vantage.
The engine will be positioned ahead of the driver, but well back in the chassis. Combined with a rear-mounted 6-speed manual transaxle, the AMV8 Vantage achieves a nearly perfect 50/50 weight balance.
The interior is all Aston Martin, with much of the styling for the switches and instruments derived from exclusive watches and premium audio gear. The interior makes extensive use of leather and anodized aluminum, and the AMV8 Vantage concept includes a full complement of custom-fitted luggage.
Built on an all-new platform, the AMV8 will be built in a new facility located in Gaydon, England.
