The V8 Vantage arrived for 2006 as Aston Martin's smallest and most driver-focused car: a two-seat coupe, joined a year later by the Roadster, built on the company's bonded-aluminum structure with the V8 set well back behind the front axle and the gearbox at the rear for near-even weight distribution. Early cars use a 4.3-liter V8; a 4.7-liter replaced it for 2009. Buyers could choose a six-speed manual or the Sportshift automated manual. Built at Gaydon, it stayed in production for more than a decade and remains one of the most recognizable Aston Martin shapes.
