    The classic 911 rival.

    The first-generation Vantage, built from 2005 to 2017, is the long-serving Porsche 911 rival and one of the most admired affordable Aston Martins. It started with a naturally aspirated 4.3 V8 making around 380 hp, which grew in 2008 to a 4.7 V8 with up to 426 hp. It came with a six-speed manual or an automated Sportshift.
