Aston Martin Vantage

Price $125,816 – $191,438
Fuel consumption 10.4 – 19.1 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 65%(view ratings)
The Vantage is the smallest and most affordable model in the Aston Martin family. Two engine options are available, either a 4.3L V8 or a 6.0L V12. The latter unleashes 510 horses that can sprint from 0-100 in just 4.2 seconds, leaving some of the brand’s more expensive models in the dust. Offered as a coupe or convertible, the Vantage owes its popularity to its price and size.
