2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Base Hatchback 2-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
|
As a collector of fine/exotic automobiles, I chose this specific year/make/model/transmission for it's importance within the brand and it's "updated and refreshed" exterior/interior.
the Vantage Coupe Having been out for a few years (previously using a 4.3L setup) 2009 was the launch of the bulletproof 4.7L engine (still in use today in 2014 models)... this engine change also included a full interior change (a proper key was swapped out for a genius and iconic "fob in the dash" system...) while the fob in the dash is cumbersome for the problematic "Sport Shift" models it is very easy to use and enjoyable in the Manual Transmission models. The Manual Transmission being the best transmission offered the 2009 with it's updated engine/trans/starting system also got an entirely new user interface (same as currently used in 2014 models) which included a much easier to use Navigation, and entirely new temperature control interface. These Interfaces are problem free and easy to use.... Mechanically the 09 has numerous other updates that are easy to notice and appreciate and honestly having 20+exotics I would never purchase any year older than 09 because of these important changes. This Vehicle Has the Following Options from the Factory, "Paint to Sample" Vertigo Blue Paint. Full Obsidian Black Interior (Which "thick" white stitching) 6 Speed close ratio manual Gearbox Navigation iPod Integration (in Center Console) USB Audio Integration Parking Sensors Power Folding Mirrors Dimming Rear View Mirror Silver Brake Calipers Xenon Headlamps Premium Sound Package Bluetooth Serious XM Radio (With LIFETIME Subscription) Factory Sport Suspension Factory Sport Exhaust Full Alcantara Headliner (A, B, & C Pillars. Rear Hatch Cover) Extras: From Factory vehicle comes w/ 2 Black Key Fobs, I purchased the $2200 optional "Crystal Key" used on the $250+ Models and had programmed at dealer to work (Includes 3 keys total) Currently sits on Pirelli All Season Tires (1 Week old), Includes NEW Factory Spec Performance Summer Tires as well. |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
