Aston Martin has produced a special edition V8 Vantage — the N420. This isn't the company's first effort — there was also 2007's N400. It's clear that the N420 is not a cynical attempt to cash in on racing glory. The detailed changes made to the V8 Vantage donor car are enough to make this special edition, well, special.
In true race car tradition the N420 is louder than a regular Vantage. No mean feat in itself, the 4.7-litre V8 powering the Vantage family is already a vocal participant.The N420's sports exhaust not only allows the V8 to breathe more freely but also generates a harder edged tone that befits a car with a proven racing pedigree.
N420's V8 motor unchanged from the donor Vantage, 420 horsepower remains good enough in the real world to see the wrong side of the speed limit in no time at all. The sprint to 100kph takes a brisk 4.8 seconds and it all stops at 290kph — on a track, of course.
The N420 is a special edition Vantage that's lighter, louder and harder. Plus, it's got plenty of carbon fibre.
