Give or take a few bucks...$540,000

Aston Martin introduced the car at a screening in La Jolla a few days ago. I was going to go to the event...held at an $19M dollar home that is aptly called 'The Razor', but couldn't break away in time

One of my friends did go and told me the car was pretty amazing. They introduced the car with a roar of the engine and to much applause. Apparently at the event they also had several AM Rapide's and Vantages, etc.
Interestingly, one of the Zagato's was ordered at the event....presumably as a gift for the 'girlfriend'

I think the more appropriate question is, it that from the Canadian AM site... ok I checked AM site, they have no configurator but will imagine they are no different from Porsche.

Canadian dollar is above par vs US $ for the most part of the last 12 months, but on Porsche Canada configurator - GT2 RS is Cd $279.9k, Posche US says $ 245k...

go figure... the only alibi I can get from our local Porsche dealer is US is Porsche's biggest market, that's it cheaper to buy it in the US than the rest of the world, including Germany..

I know that many super cars can run rings around Astons but for some reason, Aston is the make that gets my heart racing. I'd lose the wing on this one but it IS definitely gorgeous.

i bought the cheaper version....V12 Vantage....replaced my 911 C4s w/powerkit.

I absolutely love this car...highly recommended...but no longer in production

-- No bad, except for the color. ...And those four holes on the hood.

Cheers,

EDIT: I swear, I didn't look at your profile. ...Only after my post.

Thanks for commenting Bob...the color is Tungsten Silver and one of my favorites....pictures make it tough to appreciate. WRT the bonnet vents....there are others that share your view...and carbon in general turns off some. I am not as bothered by them and they keep the V12 cool and a small price to pay for enjoying the V12 sound. Some owners of this car had the vents painted body color. IMO this car is one of the gems of the current AM lineup....but not if you are looking for more of a true GT....the new DB9, outgoing DBS or new Vanquish serve that purpose better

I was looking to stay with a 6speed manual...and prefer the smaller vantage body.

I don't work at a bank...typically wear Jeans to work

I guess someone decided that honesty is sometimes best left at the door or erased entirely when foot gets inserted.

I love your V12 Vantage....perfect colour....holes and all!

Thank you for your reply back Enatai. Yes, I think I know what you mean regarding the color from just a photograph.
It is nice indeed, like silver bullet with that touch of bronze.
And I also know what you mean with the roar of your V12 engine through the four vents.

I do prefer the Vanquish myself; it's a personal taste.

* I did mention a 'bank' out of the blue, and only after the fact did I learn about you being into 'Finance'.
{Nice to wear jeans to go to work.}

Somehow my post got deleted; perhaps I did it accidentally myself, in case you disagreed with my opinion.

Still, I would drive that Zagato from the first original post of this thread; that's only me, and my lady. :b ...Or a Vanquish, or a Bugatti Veyron. ...Love Burgundy red color.

Very best regards,
Bob
