At the upcoming 2014 Geneva International Motor Show, Aston Martin will be debuting the new V8 Vantage N430 as well as the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White editions.
With more power than the base V8 Vantage and a retuned suspension and steering, the GT4-inspired V8 Vantage N430 brings track-focused dynamics to Aston’s street car. It is powered by a front mid-mounted, 4.7-litre V8 engine, which makes 434hp at 7,300 rpm. That power feeds the rear wheels through a sporty six-speed manual gearbox; with the option of a close-ratio seven-speed Sportshift II automated manual transmission with short final-drive ratio for those demanding the most driver-focused yet involving set-up. The N430 is capable of sprinting from 0-100 kmh in 4.6 seconds whilst reaching a top speed of 304 kmh.
The N430 carries dark-themed exterior details with graphite painted forged alloy wheels alongside a black front grille, headlamp bezels, exterior meshes, side window surrounds and textured tailpipe finishers as well as clear rear lamps with black surrounds.
Inside, the N430 features carbon fiber and Kevlar seats, carbon sill plaques, N430 seat logos, black magnesium paddle-shifts or carbon fibre gearshift, leather steering wheel with contrasting on-centre stitch, seat and door inserts in technical Plissè Alcantara.
Besides the V8 Vantage N430, the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White special editions will also be stealing the spotlight at the Geneva Motor Show.
The new Carbon Black carries a strong dark theme underpinned by a unique combination of lightweight carbon fibre features. Meanwhile, the contemporary Carbon White special edition creates a dramatic visual effect with the carbon fibre and dark elements contrasting strongly against the Stratus White paint and accented caliper colour.
Striking exterior additions for both Carbon Black and Carbon White editions include carbon fibre side strakes and black window surrounds reinforcing the powerful visual themes.
Inside, a strong black styling theme with a choice of accent colours in line with the caliper shade showcases carbon fibre details and new black hardware. Bespoke sill plaques with the Carbon Black or Carbon White logo, shows the cars’ rarity, too.
