Opening the canopy is like being in another world.
When I first saw Vantage, when I used a lot of more rounded lines, I always felt that it looked a little cute, unlike a "little monster" with an acceleration of only 3.6 seconds.
The "big mouth" under the front of the car is used to enhance a certain sense of movement. The interior of the air intake grille is decorated with simple horizontal and vertical lines, which is simple and not lacking in fashion sense.
Coming to the side, it is small and looks strong. In addition, it adopts the same frame-type all-aluminum body structure as DB 1 1, so that it has the weight of 1530kg, and the front-to-rear ratio is 50:50 distributed on the front and rear axles.
Personally, I think the rear of Vantage is the most beautiful place in the whole car. Very full, very athletic. The integrated taillight above the rear of the car not only makes the rear of the car more layered, but also more recognizable. There are four exhaust ports and a large diffuser on the lower sides, which makes it full of movement.
Open the car door, the red interior color matching is very eye-catching, which is also in line with the tonality of Aston Martin brand. Careful observation shows that almost all the traditional physical buttons in the car are very comfortable in the process of using the car. In the context of the electrification era, various car companies are constantly reducing physical buttons and increasing screen size to adapt to the changes of the times. At this time, models like Vantage are precious.
The steering wheel is unique in shape and feels excellent. It is very convenient to adjust the driving mode and suspension in the multi-function button area. Behind the steering wheel, two huge shift paddles make every shift a pleasure.
The key shift mechanism not only reduces the design of the stop lever, but also adds a lot of elegance. However, when shifting gears frequently during the U-turn, it will be a bit hectic.
The UI design of the full LCD dashboard is excellent, and the driving information displayed is rich enough. The middle cylinder tachometer gives people a strong visual impact. When you switch to sports mode, the tachometer will turn into red letters, which further enhances the sports atmosphere.
Walking in the street every day, getting off the track is not delayed.
In terms of power, Vantage Roadster is equipped with V8 4.0T engine, with a maximum output of 375kW (565 565,438+00 HP), and the transmission system with a peak torque of 685nm matches the 8AT gearbox. This engine is the product of cooperation between aston martin and AMG, and Martin's engineers readjusted the air intake and exhaust to make it have excellent sound performance.
When you don't open it, you will feel that its suspension will definitely be hard and not suitable for daily transportation. However, in the daily mode, the suspension of the vehicle is not hard, just like the original factory hard-tuned car, which can ensure good comfort. Its suspension system can be adjusted to meet the car environment and needs of more car owners.
When driving in urban areas, the cooperation between the engine and gearbox is quite tacit, and there are few setbacks. The most attractive thing about this car is that when you step on the accelerator deeply, you can not only feel the powerful power reserve, but also enjoy the charming sound from the V8 engine. This moment can completely let you say goodbye to all your troubles.
To achieve excellent zero-speed acceleration and high-speed performance, it is not enough to rely on a powerful engine, and the performance of the gearbox is also very important. This gearbox has been upgraded again, making its shifting action more crisp and compact.
In S+ mode, the dynamic response speed is absolutely fast enough, which is worthy of its title of "Little Monster". At the moment of stepping on the accelerator, the gearbox has simply and neatly completed the downshift action, so that the power is always in the explosive range. At this time, the exhaust sound at the rear of the car will be more obvious, and walking in the downtown area will attract the attention of countless people.
Summary:
Vantage is different from the traditional Martin model, but it is really a good sports car. Vantage is a good car to drive, and it is also a car worth savoring in the mountain road. When you drive it, you can't help but want to switch your driving mode to S+, choose a mountain road and enjoy yourself before you go to your final destination.
