The V8 Vantage is the ?smallest? Aston Martin and is offered in two versions, coupé or convertible. Just as its name implies, it is equipped with a V8 engine. More precisely, it is a 380 horsepower 4,3-litre engine rated at 302 lbs/ft of torque. It comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, but a synchro shift transmission is available. The convertible's roof is soft and takes up half of the space when folded down in the trunk. But who cares about that!
