Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT 2025: Elegant class and affordable luxury.
Finally, a “James Bond” brand comes up with something that everyone can afford. Well, almost everyone. This Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT is a car that isn’t special in anything. It’s not the fastest and prettiest car you’ll see. But there’s something to it. Maybe a brand itself, maybe because of our childhood memories of a famous agent driving Aston Martin…
V8 GT
In this review we will mention some good and bad things about the specs, styling and future of this car . Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT outside has that sporty vibe. It’s a car with a lot of history running through its veins. All the way since the first “Vantage” in 1977.
The design is ten years old and since 2005 and the first new generation of “Vantage” practically nothing has changed. But don’t confuse this with bad, hell no! The design of this car has always been beautiful. It doesn’t look outdated at all.
It’s a hand-built vehicle that packs some serious weight, and it’s a modern car. Even in this high-tech world, hand-built cars have retained their place as something for the “high class.” It came with a green chassis for testing with a yellow stripe around the roofline and grille.

It looks like the marketing department slept on it. I mean, designers did a good job and left us without all the useless makeup that clouds the minds of users. Everything is covered in fine, high-quality leather and wood and looks quite expensive and elegant. The seats are extremely comfortable and perfectly placed to ensure the ultimate driving pleasure (even for taller and larger drivers).
There is nothing in this car to distract you from driving. The crystal ignition key sits high up in the center console, beckoning you to turn it. And when you do, the magic of this car draws you in and keeps you safely in its
Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT engine
Well, this Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT engine is a true secret magic wand. The only thing that makes this car is a perfect combination of design and engineering. As soon as you turn that key and hear the roar of all 430 horsepower, you are covered with adrenaline and the need to slam that gas paddle and silence all the pedestrians around you.
Maybe the design of the cabin is not that good, or it was intentionally made that way, but you can hear the real roar of this machine inside. I mean, the raw sound of eight pistons banging and growling is irreplaceable. That sound cannot be made with the help of electronics, as is done in production cars these days. Every single part has been handcrafted for the driver’s pleasure. The transmission is a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed paddle automatic (single clutch).
The engine is a 4.7-liter V8 with 361 lbs-ft of torque. And it goes from 0-100 in 4.6 seconds, which isn’t that good, but acceleration isn’t what matters here. I know this is an age of tuned cars where everyone competes with acceleration, but this car isn’t like that. It’s for people whose cars aren’t their symbols of wealth, but the branch of their souls where they can find peace and strength again.
Price
During the entire time I was writing this text, one thing never left my mind. The Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT price. Aston Martin has always built fast, beautiful and expensive cars, but this is the first that is not in a “third world war” with its own budget.
This may seem strange, but if we consider the whole picture: engineering, design of a car and such good performance, 99,990 € (Euro) of a factory recommended price for a stripped model (nothing that affects its performance) is a perfect bargain. For some. Just have to wait for money to fall from the sky or a rich distant relative to buy one.
