2003 Detroit Auto Show - Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage
Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage	Aston Martin's concept AMV8 Vantage provides a glimpse of Aston's new third model, which will join the Vanquish and DB7 in two years' time. The two-seat AMV8 is to be positioned below the DB7, and is built upon a new and flexible platform, easily modified for design changes as well as providing the basis for new models. Styling is decidedly Aston Martin. The long hood, trademark grille, and short overhangs should sit well with Aston enthusiasts. Performance will come from an all-new 4.3-liter V-8 powering the rear wheels. Inside the AMV8 is a bespoke leather and aluminum interior similar to that of the Vanquish. Elegant and decidedly British, Aston's volume leader will be built in a new factory in Gaydon, England.
