Jaguar XK-RS or Aston Martin V8 Vantage S?

Following on from my limousine poll, here's another for you to think hard about. I've thought about it myself and quite simply couldn't pick.

The Jaguar looks amazing and fresh, taking 4.4 seconds to reach 60 mph with its 550 hp. It weighs 1,753 kg.



The Aston Martin looks just as good, perhaps the design is a bit old - though certainly not outdated. It takes 4.7 seconds to reach 60 mph, has 430 hp and weighs 1,610kg. It may be slower, but it's an Aston Martin. 'nuff said.



Over to you!

none of them, I'd get the XKR the regular one as its better value for your money and you can easily modify it to make it better than the XKR-S and faster.

Man, that's a tough call. I love the power and sound of the Jag but you can get the Vantage with a manual transmission...

Good luck.

I'd choose the Vantage S!

An Aston or a Jag. Both are great, but I'd go for the Aston for the fact that it is an Aston.

Aston always trumps Jag. Put both sets of keys on the table and see which one draws oohs and aahs. Then go outside and repeat.

Aston Martin. The Jaguar is awesome though.

Aston for sure, I love the look of those cars. They are the most beautiful cars on the road and it's a gentleman's car.
