First Vantage N400 in the country...

My buddy just took delivery of his Vantage n400 Roadster yesterday and picked me up for a ride. The dealership installed a tubi exhaust and did the clear bra for him. Wow this thing screams!!!
The interior is pure class, leather everywhere with gray stitching. Has the outline of the "Ring" on the center console and a "ring" badge on the rear. Exterior is pretty much the same as the regular Vantage except for a front spoiler and the tail lights are silver. Huge brakes and 5 spoke rims. Its a 6 speed and revs up to 8000. Feels a little faster than my 2006 997S....maybe its just the rumble of the V8 that makes it feel faster.

Apparently its the first one in the country. Its a limited edition car of only 250 and only about 50 are making it to the states. I will post pictures on Monday when I am back in town.

All in all, a very sexy car that goes pretty well and should be a nice collectors item.

I'm pretty sure i've seen pics of one that's been here a couple of months, i believe Moe detailed it after the owner sent it down from SF.

Pics?

I had no idea they made a 'vert model of the N400. I'd love to see some pics, so post 'em when you get a chance please!

I absolutely love the car, but the etching of the ring in the center isn't my favorite. At first I thought it was an ipod cord or something

Holy cow, just look at the leather appointments in the interior............ love it.

I think I will get a friend to install the tubi on his 06 V8 Vantage.

Yes that's the only thing I'm not quite sure about either. It's a bit corny, other than that gorgeous car...
