2017 Aston Martin Vantage GTS
The British sportscar maker has now
confirmed plans to truncate their V8-powered Vantage US line-up into a single
model for 2017.
That car is called the Vantage GTS and
Aston Martin will build only 100 of them, split into two separate trim levels
called 'Sport' and 'Lux' for both the Coupe as well as the Roadster. Every
version will be equipped with the 4.7-liter V8 from the existing V8 Vantage and
offer a choice of either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed single-clutch
automatic.
The Sport version comes with lots of
carbon-fiber inserts, as well as a black finish for the front grille and
headlight bezels. Other features include the sports suspension (optional on the
older Vantage), and either gray or black leather which itself comes with either
Alcantara or leather trim detailing.
The Lux trim doesn't involve the sports
suspension bits but adds glossy black exterior elements at the front splitter
and rear diffuser, plus a brightwork at the front grille, headlamp surrounds,
hood vent strakes and window surrounds. Inside, the seats are leather while the
controls are wearing a satin chrome finish with piano black. Also, if you opt
for a Lux model, you get the Bang & Olufsen audio system upgrade as
standard.
While official pricing is yet to be
announced, expect the GTS to start at around the US$ 135,000 mark.
