The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a two door, two seater sports car full of luxury, available in two trims, the V8 Vantage Coupe and the V8 Vantage Roadster (convertible) with power cloth soft top.

Standard equipment in the Aston Martin V8 Vantage includes xenon headlights, 19-inch wheels, eight-way power seats, automatic climate control, a limited-slip differential, rear parking sensors, power lumbar adjustment, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a battery deactivation switch and an audio system with a six-CD changer and an iPod/USB audio interface.
