The British car manufacturer Aston Martin unveiled the 2024 Vantage, and while it wasn’t an entirely new generation, it was a massive upgrade over its non-facelifted sibling.

Limited to 200 units produced, the 2019 Aston Martin Vantage AMR was launched just a day before the penultimate round of the FIA Endurance Championship, the birthplace of the Vantage AMR.

Aston Martin finally replaced the previous version of the Vantage after it kept it on the market for twelve years, which was an incredibly long life for such a grand tourer in the modern era.

Aston Martin created another special edition for its aging Vantage in 2014, but it wasn't just about some fancy new colors and designer wheels; it was a sportier Vantage with a tuned suspension and a more potent engine than the rest of the V8 range.

In 2006, in a daring quest, a road-registered Aston Martin V8 Vantage entered the 24h of Nurburgring race. It was a slightly modified version of a street-legal vehicle. It didn't win but it finished in fourth place in its class and 24th overall.

It was the end of the road between Ford and Aston Martin, but the car was facelifted before their divorce. Thus, the 2008 V8 Vantage was the last to wear that many parts from Ford's parts bin.

In 2005, Aston Martin was still linked with Jaguar and Ford. But it was still a luxurious GT car that featured a different approach to its customers and a different market.

In 1959 Aston Martin won the 24-hour race from Le Mans with Caroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori at the wheel, and four decades later, the British automaker produced a limited edition of the V8 Vantage that celebrated that success.

Aston Martin introduced in 1996 a longer wheelbase version of the V8 Vantage, which was already on the market since 1993, and the result was spectacular.

The 1993 Aston Martin V8 Vantage was like a Pink Floyd song: powerful, authentic, and yet hard to understand by many due to its uncanny sound.

It was one of the most famous Aston Martin in the '80s after it starred in the James Bond franchise movie “The living daylights” and it was a supercar of its era, even if Aston Martin considered it as a GT.

In 1972, the British car manufacturer introduced the second series for its DBS, and since it dropped the inline-six powerplants and left only the V8s under its hoods, it also used a new moniker: the V8.
