Spy Shots: Aston Martin V8 Vantage RS

Silver mirrors, DBS rear lights and LEDs in the headlights (these where already in the 2005 AMV8 models). Bigger side-skirts are also present! We think this type is for the American market, because this one has orange reflectors on the side, they are required by the law in the States. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage RS is a light-weight (1270kg) version of the V8 Vantage, but with more power. The RS weighs 150kg less than the standard Vantage, while putting out an additional 40hp (totalling at 420hp). Aston Martin seems to be keen to compete more vigorously with the Porsche GT3 and Audi R8.

It certainly seems exciting. A V8 Vantage RS. Imagine a Vantage, a-la Porsche 911 GT3 RS and you'll get this. Smoked wheels, DBS LED rear lights and lots of other good stuff, including an extra 20bhp. We're certainly looking forward to this one.
