Overview: Bulging in the right places, this is Aston’s smallest sports car—and while the V-8 models are also the least-expensive Astons, you won’t care from behind the wheel. First is the GT with a 430-hp V-8; then, the 420-hp Vantage. The V-8 Vantage S also makes 430 hp. A six-speed manual is standard on V-8s; a seven-speed automated manual is optional. Moving up in power and price is the V-12 Vantage S, with 565 hp and no regard for English civility. Coupe and convertible models are offered.
Price: $123,695-$185,220
