This is the all new Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition!•
•
•As this beast is based on the Vantage Formula 1 Safety Car which lives 100% of its life on track chasing and leading what some argue to be the fastest track cars on the planet, you could suspect that the Vantage F1 Edition would have some of that track focused DNA. Well it does, and it’s exactly why Aston Martin call it the most track focused production Vantage to date! It’s been a new exciting era for Aston Martin as they seem to be diving much more into the performance side of things, diverting from only producing luxury supercars. Honestly, I think they are doing a pretty good job right now and I’m excited for the future!•

SPECS:
•
•The car is still fitted with the same 4 L Twin Turbo V8 but it now has an extra 24 HP to play with, maxing out at 528 HP. 0 to 60 mph is done in 3.5 seconds for the coupe and 3.6 seconds for the roadster version. Top speed is 195 mph in the coupe and 190 mph in the roadster. The transmission is a ZF 8 speed automatic. For the suspension the Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition is fitted with a front independent double wishbone setup, coil springs, an anti-rollbar, and adaptive damping. As far as the brakes it’s equipped with two piece cast iron brake disks which are 400 mm in the front and 360 mm, in diameter, in the back. It’s also fitted with a plethora of systems to assist the driver like positive torque control and dynamic torque vectoring. From the sounds of it this truly is the most track focused Vantage ever! What a machine!•
