Vanquish AM310 any day. |
It's a Virage with a different name. |
Yeah, this is very confusing. So Aston release last week that the Virage is ending production, and now they reveal this 'new' DB9 which is identical. I hear that there will even be a 'Virage Pack' for this DB9 taking it up to the old Virage power levels. I'm a HUGE Aston supporter, but I think they've lost the plot with this... |
Indeed - the spec wasn't available when I posted the pics. So it's a Virage, on a Vanquish chassis with DBS power and bootlid. I'd imagine those who bought a Virage are going to be pretty pissed that you can now get their car, lighter, with more power for £18,000 less. Ouch. I take back what I said about thinking AM have lost the plot. The new range is now much simpler, though I wish they'd just called it an upgraded Virage for 2013 MY. That would have made more sense and I prefer the Virage name, it gives the range a nice flow: Vantage, Virage, Vanquish. |

Wow. If you hadn't seen any Astons before and saw this as your first view, I think I'd think this was one of the most beautiful cars I'd ever seen. I mean just look at it: https://teamspeed.com/forums/attachm...5&d=1348047843 Honestly, who cares if it's derivative, it's utterly beautiful and will sound amazing. Many ask why don't they change the styling - how do you improve on perfection? And why would you bother? |
