We have a fleet of over 400 different vehicles used on our driving experience packages across the UK here at Trackdays - and a good proportion of those are supercars. But we thought it was about time that certain models got a turn under the spotlight to showcase just how awesome they are - and why they should be amongst your next driving choices.
So, to that end, we're starting a new regular series of monthly blogs, which will be profiling some of the finest examples of the most esteemed automotive marques known the world over. And first onto the forecourt for this month's edition of In Profile, we're proud to bring you the 2021 Aston Martin Vantage...
The two-seater Vantage has been one of Aston Martin's signature models for over 20 years now, but the 2021 iteration is perhaps one of its most powerful yet sleekest cars in our fleet.
Powered on a twin-turbo AMG 4.0 litre V8 engine, it offers out 503 bhp that can be directly felt on the rear wheels, with torque of 505 lb-ft at 2000 rpm.
As for its speed? It offers rapid acceleration from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and 0-100mph in 7.6 seconds, and is capable of achieving a top speed of 195mph.
- "And The Safety Car Is Deployed…"
If its racing green livery isn't the biggest giveaway as to where this version of the Vantage is best known from, then we're not sure what is. But needless to say, fans of Formula 1 will instantly recognise it as being styled on the same F1 Safety Car used in the annual championships, which have just started their season for this year.
So if you've seen it before, chances are it will have been on the weekends, coursing around the track and leading the pack of twenty or so Formula 1 cars on legendary circuits such as our very own Silverstone here in the UK, the challenging gradients of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, or the tight-knit yet uber glamorous street circuits of Monte Carlo.
It was introduced as the safety car back in 2021, predominantly to mark the fact it was 61 years since Aston Martin had last been involved in Formula One - a sure sign of a warm welcome back as any.
- Why Should I Drive the 2021 Aston Martin Vantage?
If you're a motorsport enthusiast, it's a bit of a no-brainer as to why you'd want to get behind the wheel of this one. But that aside, this version of the Vantage is Aston Martin delivering what they do best.
It's a sleek, sophisticated performance car that's also great fun to drive, with rapid acceleration and impressive handling that's well-equipped for the demands of the race track, even in the most challenging of conditions.
