2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Some cars need no introduction, as their mere presence alone commands onlookers to stop what they are doing and appreciate the rolling artwork cruising by. One look at this 2009 Aston Martin Vantage V8 and its easy to see why this Jet Black coupe might just be one of the best grand tourers in history. Even with its (believed) original paint, this British beauty looks like it has barely aged a day.

Inside, this Aston envelopes its lucky occupants in a swath of supple tan leather. A center console separates a pair of plush and supportive bucket seats. A small and sporty three-spoke power-assisted wheel sits ahead of a 220-mph speedometer and an 8,000-rpm reverse tachometer. Heated power seats and mirrors, along with power windows and locks, provide plenty of modern amenities, while rain-sensing windshield wipers, an AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth/Navigation infotainment system, and a beautiful analog clock situated midway up the center stack remind both driver and passenger that the lap of luxury can doesnt have to stay still.

Under the hood, we find a naturally-aspirated DOHC 4.7-liter V-8 engine, up from 4.3 liters the previous year. Thanks to an aluminum block and heads, variable intake valves and a dry-sump oiling system, this European V-8 pumped out an impressive 420 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. That power is routed through a six-speed Sportshift automated manual transmission that utilizes electro-hydraulic actuators to operate the clutch, along with column-mounted paddle shifters when in manual mode. From there, those ponies are sent through the 3.91:1 limited-slip rear end, which transfers power to the pavement via a set of nineteen-inch, ten-spoke wheels shod in Z-rated rubber.
