Hi

The super charged is still a quick car, but not a patch on the wonderful Vantage.

I work for Aston as an instructor and spent a great day on friday messing around in a brand new DB7 Vantage at Millbrook Proving ground near Bedford - lucky boy, eh!

Take care

The DB7 Vantage has a top speed in excess of 180 mph and 0 to 60 mph acceleration just less than 5 seconds.

It has a 6.0 ltr V12 engine developed by Aston and Cosworth and is recognised as probably the worlds most beautiful car!

It is a wonderful car to drive and has stunning presence on the road.

Take care.

Ed
